One of the best ways to help those who have economic problem is becoming an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur means that you're starting a new business so you need to hire new employees which means you're creating job opportunity so you can help those who unemployment to get a job and help their economic problem.
I agree with this, many people complain about the lack of jobs and while they are right the best way to get around that problem is to create your own jobs, if you create your own business even if it is a small one you will never have the risk of being fired by your boss because you are your own boss, the only thing that you need is a little bit of imagination and a skill, you do not even have to be very good at it, you just need to be good enough to be able to charge for your services.
