and the theory fronts, and gives an assessment of where we are today. The social consequences of unemployment written by McClelland (1998) is mentioned that the personal and social costs of unemployment include severe financial hardship and poverty, debt, homelessness
and housing stress, family tensions and breakdown, boredom,
alienation, shame and stigma,
increased social isolation, crime, erosion of confidence and self-esteem, the atrophying of work skills and ill- health. Unemployed people report that being unemployed is one of the worst things that can happen to them (White 1991). Economic growth and the unemployment rate is a paper written by Levine (2013) who is a specialist in the labor economics. In this paper is mentioned that a persistently high unemployment rate is of concern to Congress
