Economic Crisis Dominates Italian Election

Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's prime minister who resigned because of a sex scandal, is trying to make a political comeback, and Italian voters will have their say on that on Sunday.

The next government will be challenged by a deep recession and unemployment rates, which approach 40 percent among young Italians.

The economic crisis is forcing some young people to leave the country, or seek unusual jobs.
