There's a high probability that if the unemployment rate surges, then the Federal Reserve pivots to FULL Q.E./turns on the money printer in expectation of a Recession, and to prevent an actual Economic Depression.
This X post says that "mega layoffs" will start in 18 months.
This is very unfortunate when it happens because most of the country is fighting a bad economy so the impact can be directly felt by the community. If you don't learn some special skills then in conditions like this it will be very impactful because when massive layoffs occur it can affect the economic cycle to be worse and eventually a recession will affect everything. I see significant difficulties at the moment in terms of achieving good finances and people are having a hard time keeping up with income and routine expenses.
What can be done is turning on but there is no solution that can be applied by them and hoping that this will be okay is an effort that may be difficult to overcome. Recessions and economic depressions will put people in a worse life, so what can be applied to solve it.
