Ron Dufour, 53, waited at a food pantry in Peace Dale, R.I., on Tuesday while his girlfriend gathered supplies. Globe staff photographer Bill Greene snapped this image of Dufour the same day the Bureau of Labor Statistics released figures showing that unemployment had ballooned in Rhode Island in September to 8.8 percent, the highest rate in the nation. The number of families enrolled in the emergency meals program at the Johnnycake Center food pantry has quadrupled from 261 a year ago to 905 now.
Ted Gartland, a dayside photo editor at the Globe, has been taking pictures in metropolitan Boston since 1971. To view the work of more Globe photographers, click here.
