chronic unemployment 

Being unemployed for at least six months, not due to medical reasons. Considered a major problem as most employers will not hire someone who has been unemployed for six months.

Eighteen months of chronic unemployment has wrecked my finances.

unemploymentating 

This is a portmanteau of "unemployment" and "marinating" meaning to simmer or bask oneself in unemployment for a short period of time.

Greta was clearly unemploymentating after being laid off, as she had made little effort at searching for another job.

Unemployment 

In the UK we have a saying. It goes like this. Whats green and gets you fucked? Your Giro! This sums up enemployment exquisitely - go down to the: job centre/ dole office / welfare - pick up your govermental contribution for food and rent, walk out of the building and directly into the nearest pub and spend every last penny of it on alcohol and drugs.

"It's bloody busy in ere, whats the beef?"
"We're next to the labour exchange guv."

Unemployment 

Going to work and relating to people through work is something a lot of people dont take for granted when they become unemployed. You can survive without work or a social life, but theres a sense that something is missing if people try to do it for an extended time.

Unemployment isnt usually something people do for their own amusement.
