Turns out unemployment just well because workers have given up on working
“After a year of historically weak hiring in 2025, ZipRecruiter economist Nicole Bechaud told USA TODAY that longtime unemployed people may be so discouraged they are leaving the market entirely.
"Somebody who became unemployed a year ago, when it was really, really hard to find a job, is likely still unemployed right now," Bachaud said, adding employers may prefer to hire "somebody who just recently left their job, or who’s still working another job."”
