My feeling about unemployment


     
     There are thousands and thousands of biographic sketches in our lives, but there are also thousands and thousands of out-of-works around of us, too. In the past, a graduate student from university usually can find a well-paid job easily, not to mention a graduate student and a candidate for doctor's degree. However, in this day and age, most people have high education, but it is more and more difficult to find a job. Hence, unemployment becomes a serious social issue, and it also results in many problems now, including mentality, life and family.
      Unemployment will cause a lot of problem to the one who does not have any jobs or the one who loses his job. First, one of these problems is psychological problems. Someone who does not have a job or loses his job will easily to feel depressed. According to the research, many unemployed are suffering from depression. Because of the pressure of finding a job to uphold their family livelihood, they will get angry and manic depressive when they cannot find any jobs. On the other hand, because of losing a job, the unemployed will also easily feel inferior. They may think that they are losers, and becoming more and more self-contemptuous without confident when they cannot find any jobs continuously. Out of work and not being able to find jobs have a great impact on mental.
     Unemployment also may affect the life of the unemployed. Especially the person we just loses his job, he needs to adapt the new form of life. Maybe he was a busy guy in the past when he had a busy job, but after he does not have any job, he has to accommodate the empty of his life. At the beginning, the unemployed will not meet this kind of livelihood, so they need to change their lifestyle before. Besides, an unemployed who just loses his job is easily to fall out of the center of life. Many of them will suddenly do not know what they should do. They will feel hopeless and helpless. All of a sudden change is really a big difficult problem to the unemployed.
     There is also a significant problem which is family issue to a married employed. If the unemployed is married, he needs to care about many difficulties of without having a job. First, the couple has to think about how to get the family income when they do not have any earnings. Because of economic pressure, they will worry about that they do not have enough money to hold this family, especially they have children. The overhead will become very tight. Due to these pressure and worries, the family will also easily to get fight. As we said before, an employed will easily to get angry and oppressive, so they will easily lose their marbles to get bad emotion. Therefore, unemployed families may have more divorce issues than income families.
      Joblessness is really a big issue in our society. Not only those problems which I just mentioned are serious, but we also have some more significant problems like suicide. Therefore, I think that the government needs to notice this grave issue. They also have to figure out some solutions to decrease the high unemployment rate, like increasing employment opportunities, having unemployment benefits and having professional training. The unemployed also need to have positive attitude and look on the bright side. May our life will be better and the unemployed population will be less and less in our modern society.    (586 words)
