Joblessness normally hit persons very hard. The unemployed persons lose their purpose, confidence, sense of success and, obviously, earnings. The families of the jobless persons also suffer along with them. Residents and cars taken back, disagreements at home, over borrowing, which extends the distress even when the jobless persons find new jobs, are all consequences of joblessness. The major impact joblessness has on the community as well as the economy is the fruitful power that it holds back. Every individual who is jobless could be doing anything fruitful and consequently contributing to the entire community’s wealth.
Most of the jobless persons experiences mental disorders, depression, or abuses alcohol at one point in time. The sociological imagination allows persons to discover how the societal makeup leads to such issues (Newman 2010). For instance, the society tends to discriminate the poor and the jobless. People view them as unimportant people, since they are not fruitful to the society. Consequently, the jobless individuals tend to feel very depressed, since they cannot meet the societal expectations. Diseases such as mental disorders start to affect the persons and they lead miserable lives. The individual suffers because of the society expectations
There are several reasons for joblessness, and the main one includes the lack of individual drive. Conversely, for everybody who has tried hard to get employment and has been incapable to get one, there could be a number of societal causes (Mills 2000).
Being jobless is an awful individual problem, but it is neither the consequence nor the liability of anything the jobless persons have done. To a certain extent, it is the society’s unwillingness or inability to give full employment. Joblessness is more than an individual problem. It is a societal problem (Andersen & Taylor 2007).
