So my government professor said something that I thought was really deep in class today:
"In a general scope, yes the unemployment rate is at %7.3. But if you look closely, if you look at the people, you'll realize that for someone who is in that %7.3, the unemployment rate is actually %100".
This had me thinking, so I thought I'd see what you fine folks had to say. :)
To the government, unemployment is a national problem that needs fixing, and seeing as how there are other problems that are considered worse and warrant more attention, not much is being done about unemployment. Not nothing, just not enough. My question to you is this:
How much do you think unemployment impacts the nation as a whole?
And now, do you think it's important for us to not only think about our national averages, but to also think about each individual case, and the trials and crap they go through?
Do you think that kind of thought would provoke more action?
Do you think that an employed individual, whether on the civil level or in the government, could truly understand how it is to be unemployed? How is not being able to feel for the unemployed affecting what the government does about it?
