Depression and Job Loss

Losing a job is already a very difficult pill to swallow. However, the recent surge of COVID-19 in 2020 has arguably exacerbated this situation for many. This pandemic has led many of us to lock ourselves within the concrete walls that we call home and has affected almost all the job sectors which resulted in job loss for many. These are the situations that make people realize that money is a necessary resource to survive.


More than 20 million jobs were lost in America in April 2020 generally because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many Americans are encountering surprising employment misfortune for the first time in their life.


All layers of society are affected: lower class, middle class, and upper class. But the class of society that suffers the most is the "middle class". Now, you may say that at such times everyone is affected whether rich or poor but when things get worse the metric is changed from "who is affected" to the "extent of effect" and in my perspective, that is the most in the middle-class people.


The first thought that occurs to anyone who loses his job is the fear of not having enough money to buy the essential utilities for the family. Then enters the stress and anxiety as in any other situation he/she may find some of the other jobs but in this situation, it becomes more difficult as very few organizations are ready to take new employees.
