Want a job, need a job, but cannot find a job? What impact does the quest have on not only job seekers, but also on the overall economy? Scholars research unemployment's ripple effect on the market, purchasing power, and overall health of the economy as well as the hidden consequences of having a large amount of people looking for work. A short video explains how those who cannot work not only negatively impact what they can buy, but have their job skills wasted at the same time.
