Are you tired of being unemployed?

Is anybody else tired of being unemployed?

• Someone have been out of work for over 6 months and have maybe gone on 6 interviews since. She is beginning to get very frustrated. who else is with? She applies for jobs almost every day. She looks daily.. She is trying as hard as she could, she hates not working and feels like a loser.
• This person did not have  a job for about 6 months as well. He have applied at so many places. Some places- really lowering his standards, but he just want a job. At least part time, you know.
• Another one say´s: Hey I am with you on this one!!!! People are always like "go find a job it's easy", Yea not so much. The economy is not helping either. Hang in there you are not the only one friend!
• This person have another version to say: I've been out of work since last christmas. My wife has a very high paying job. We have a 5 year old, and decided to homeschool him, so I guess that's my job now lol. It sucks not working though I feel ya man.

Coping with being unemployed:

Why?
Debts from student loans and lack of money
Living with parents again and consequent loss of freedom
Isolation from college friends
Lack of status. Stigma of unemployment: perceived as "lazy". Job or university provides much of your sense of identity and self respect.
Job hunting involves a lot of rejection and may sap the confidence of even the best qualified applicants.
Your time is no longer structured. Without work or study we may have a large amount of free time on our hands with freedom to do whatever we like but little money to do these things! We may not have aims for the day so the tendency to get up late in the morning and drift aimlessly through the day.
The three stages of unemployment are initial shock, then depression and finally adjustment.

Now, let’s say one of the unemployed people got tired of being unemployed and decided to go back to school. She has now removed herself from the labor force, so we don’t count her when we count unemployed people. Let’s also say that one of the employed people lost his job and instead of looking for a new one, he decided to simply retire.




Unemployment:


Unemployment (or joblessness), as defined by the International Labour Organization, occurs when people are without jobs and they have actively sought work within the past four weeks. The unemployment rate is a measure of the prevalence of unemployment and it is calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by all individuals currently in the labour force. In a 2011 news story, BusinessWeekreported, "More than 200 million people globally are out of work, a record high, as almost two-thirds of advanced economies and half of developing countries are experiencing a slowdown in employment growth, the group said."




Unemployment in the Philippines:


According to the National Statistics Office website, unemployed is defined as all persons who are 15 years old and over as of their last birthday and are reported as without work; AND currently available for work; AND seeking work OR not seeking work due to the following valid reasons:
1.) Tired/believed no work available
2.) Awaiting results of previous job application
3.) Temporary illness/disability
4.) Bad Weather
5.) Waiting for rehire/job recall


Unemployment benefits in Sweden:


Unemployment benefits in Sweden are divided into a voluntary scheme with income related compensation up to a certain level and a comprehensive scheme that provides a lower level of basic support.
“Help-funds”, the first form of unemployment insurance in Sweden, were created in the 1870s, already closely linked to trade unions. Since the institution of local employment offices in 1930s, in the climate ofKeynesian policies, the State has begun to finance the unemployment benefits; since the 1940s, the insurances’ aim was to «provide economic support during a "transitional period" when the individual who lost his/her employment or left school actively seeks a new employment».In 1948 the employment offices were nationalized and the National Labour Market Board (Arbetsmarknadstyrelsen - AMS) was established as the central authority, charged also with the task of supervising the voluntary employment relief funds, subsidized and controlled by the unions. Since 2004 this last task has been taken over by the Unemployment Insurance Board (IAF).

In fact, the labour market policies in the after-war were built upon two concepts: the “active labour market policy” and the task of the unemployment insurance to support the readjustments of individuals to the labour market. To have this effect, the unemployment insurances had to have some features: 

“ It should not be paid unless the individual has the possibility to take on work during at least a minimum number of hours each week. It should require that the individual looks for work actively. It should require of the individual to participate in labour market programmes which aim at supporting the individual's possibilities to reenter into the labour market. The person should not in the long run be allowed to look only for the same kind of job as they had before or have the training for. The person should not in the long run be allowed to look only for a job within a limited geographical area.”
