Not to mention that many of the unemployed are not going to take being unemployed lightly.
Which results in a flooding of the employment pool, limiting opportunities for people who are ALREADY unemployed.
I'm not quite as concerned because I'm working with a different skillset - but it's going to be harder to find work "just to get by" - retail, factory, etc., which I am totally not above doing if my situation becomes dire enough. When my savings run out, if I haven't got a job yet, you can bank on me going back to retail. I just hope the jobs are there when I do (although with the economy/rising unemployment I don't think they will be).
