The Georgia town that jobs forgot (2 of 6)

In the second part of Dateline NBC’s series, the reporter traces Millen’s economic decline back to the housing crisis. And like so many Americans, restaurateur Krystal Chance confronts the painful realization that she can’t afford the beautiful house she has built for her family.

Georgia has been hit hard by the recession. Harder than most states.

To highlight the personal impact of the economic collapse, Dateline NBC recently profiled three residents of Millen, Ga. The stories are powerful enough to share.

Below is part two of a six part series.
