‘You don’t live when you are unemployed—you exist’ Personal and social costs of unemployment include severe financial hardship and poverty, debt, homelessness and housing stress, family tensions and breakdown, boredom, alienation, shame and stigma, increased social isolation, crime, confidence and self-esteem erosion, atrophy of work skills, and illness. The majority of these rise in proportion to the length of unemployment. Unfortunately, unemployment is becoming a major societal issue in today's society. Many jobless persons are more than capable of working; they simply lack the necessary experience or flexibility to do so. Many others are also unemployed since there aren't enough jobs to go around. The unemployment rate is growing by the day, and something must be done to reverse this trend. Many young people are unemployed because they have just graduated from high school and lack the necessary work experience. Adults are more likely to be out of work due to physical and mental health issues.
