Because unemployment insurance in the United States typically does not even replace 50% of the income one received on the job (and is limited), the unemployed often end up relying on welfare programs such as Food Stamps -- or accumulating debt, both formal debt to banks and informal debt to family and friends. Recent research has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that unemployment causes, rather than merely results from, poor psychological health (Fryer, 1995)
FDI Unemployment and Its Effects on Mental Health In the United States, each percentage rise in unemployment leads to 6,000 deaths (Woolston, 2002)
What is curious about this is that other states that have automotive industries have experienced lesser problems as a result of the fact that American car sales have gone down. Michigan "is still by far the leading state in terms of auto industry employment, but experienced a decline of at least 125,000 employees between 1979 and 2003 in automotive-related industries" (Cooney & Yacobucci 54)
The fact that the state holds a great deal of indigenous tribes means that many are unable to integrate the social order because they cling on to cultural values. As a result, it is difficult for some to get jobs and to take on attitudes similar to other non-native individuals living in their community (Gaquin & Dunn 160)
The fact that the number of jobs in Detroit has gone down significantly also influenced many individuals to express lesser interest in educational institutes, considering that they came to consider that it would be pointless for them to learn as long as they had nowhere to work consequent to the moment when they finished learning. "The Detroit, Michigan drop-out rate among black males is 50%, the Detroit unemployment rate among black males is 50%" (Kill 145)
The fact that Detroit is generally considered to be synonymous with the American automotive industry makes it possible for individuals to gain a better understanding of why unemployment rates in the city are currently much higher when compared to unemployment rates in the rest of the country. "As recently as the mid-twentieth century, two thirds of the nation's auto industry jobs were in Michigan" (Klier & Rubenstein 29)
In response to being close to bankruptcy, big auto makers decided to cut costs at the behest of Detroit's automotive workforce by shipping thousands of automotive jobs overseas. Thus, the American job market suffered at the cost of the "Big Three strategy of decentralization" (Feeley, 2011)
Rising gas prices in the midst of a recession that hit automotive makers extremely hard. Here, the research suggests that "increases in the price of oil can lower the demand for automobiles" (Klier & Patton, 2012)
This downward pressure will cause the rate of inflation to fall. Eventually the rate of inflation and the forecast of future inflation under unchanged monetary policy will fall below the target range and this will require the Reserve Bank of Australia to expand monetary policy in order to meet the inflation target" (McDonald, nd) This work relates however, that it may very well be that this is not such a unique occurrence after all as it was found by Staiger, Stock and Watson (1997) that estimates (of the natural rate of unemployment) are imprecise in that "forecasts of inflation are similar whether the natural rate of unemployment is assumed to be 4

In his article in The New York Times, Thomas Friedman argues that educational standards should be higher and that students, parents, and educators need to put more effort into meeting those standards. Friedman argues that there are three fundamental pillars of unemployment in the United States today: (1) Global competition for higher-paying skilled work is "stiffer" than in past decades; (2) the proportion of high-end jobs to low-end jobs has changed radically, skewing sharply to jobs that require higher levels of education and skill; and (3) America has fallen significantly behind its developed (and developing) nation peers with respect to high school graduation rates, college graduation, and standardized test scores in math and critical thinking (Friedman, 2012)
Hacker (2012) asserts that educational systems in America need to rethink what they are teaching and why they are teaching it. Part of the problem, Hacker suggests, is that when academic standards are raised, there is a corollary expectation that a growing number of students will fail (Hacker, 2012)
The following discussion will distinguish between two types of unemployment and its various causes as well as the influence of the events of September 11 and afterward that have resulted in higher rates of unemployment across the United States. Causes of Unemployment In the fourth quarter of 2002, unemployment rates soared to 6%, the highest jobless rate since 1995 (Cooper 25)

For the latter, this problem is especially troubling, where the unemployment rates have jumped to 3.1% for professionals and managers (Mandel 37)
Similarly, crime rates are normally high in poor neighborhoods, thus meaning that these people are exposed to criminals and even vulnerable to becoming criminals themselves, given that poverty can influence people in taking on an immoral lifestyle. The Labor Party in the UK has planned "to eradicate child poverty in a generation, focusing on three main lines of attack: supporting family incomes (largely through child contingent measures); welfare to work policies; and a broader agenda aimed at improving children's life chances" (Bell & Strelitz, 2011)
Many people have trouble understanding poverty, as they are inclined to associate it with situations when they are unable to buy things that they do not actually need, but that they consider would make them more fashionable. "By this definition, poverty has all but disappeared in wealthier nations (including the United States and the United Kingdom), where almost all citizens are free from life-threatening material want" (Besharov & Call, 2009)
