Introduction There are the highs and lows in civilization’s history. That is a naturally determined law, which is a stimulator for evolution. Of course, there are drops, influencing humanity more significantly. Economic instability is one of those that we feel the most. At this point, unemployment affects every single person, and its consequences force people to seek additional ways of solving the problem. The purpose of this research is about showing the issue of unemployment in the 20th century, the results that it led to, the human struggle against unemployment, and the predictions of unemployment in the future. Description Unemployment occurs because of the lack of vacancies and it pushes people to seek jobs more actively. Moreover, it is explained that “unemployment is often used as a measure of the health of the economy” (“Investopedia: Unemployment” par. 4). Of course, the influence of joblessness on the economy is significant. There is a straight relation between the number of unemployed citizens and the funds that the government is required to spend for their support. At this point, not only the financial income loss takes place, but the additional costs also appear. An unemployed human would be saving money, rather than spending them on him and his family. Therefore, it leads to the point when the home economy suffers from the decreasing of the money turnover. A corresponding percentage rate measures the actual level of unemployment and the percent of jobless citizens in a correlation with those who are employed. Many specialists assume that the reason for joblessness is in the interventions, such as minimum wage laws, bureaucratic work rules, taxes, and others. Considering the fact that unemployment has a cyclical nature and repeats from time to time, it still could be predicted beforehand, and it may help to prevent the global devastating effects. Even if there is no commonly accepted theory concerning joblessness, many analysts declare that the real reason for the absence of jobs is present because of the low wages level and that when it becomes lower than the livable indicator, many individuals lose their interest in having a job. As it is said, “Increased taxes and the insecurity about their own work may affect the spending power of the working people as well and they too may start to spend less than before thus affecting the economy and also the society in a negative manner” (“Job Interview: The Effects of Unemployment on Society and the Economy” par. 4). A sharp decrease in employment assistance massively affects the numerous spheres of life, including living standards, health, and education. Unemployment in the 20th Century The early 20th-century unemployment was mostly caused by the great depression, which took place at the beginning of the 1900s. The time of the Great Depression is known by the ravaging loss of jobs, with the rate of 20 percent. Further, in the year 1933, the rate of unemployment went higher and was already equal to 24.9 percent. All of the society niches, except for those who were farming, were at the risk of becoming jobless. As it is stated, the rate of average unemployment lowered in 1940, with an indicator of 14.6.
