Unemployment Cooties

fear of interacting with an unemployed person for fear that whatever caused him or her to be unemployed will transfer to you. Originally used by John Stewart on the Daily Show.

After I lost my job, all of my "friends" suddenly became too busy to spend time with me. I guess I have unemployment cooties.

unemployed

Now, 1 in 10 of us. Previously, people that didn't want to work or that were going to get a job in 2 months.

I used to have a job but then everyone spent all their money plus 10 grand on credit cards and found out their house was worth half as much as it was 4 years ago and doesn't buy anything and/or got foreclosed on; now I don't have a job and am unemployed because I got laid off because "the economy is 'so bad'".

over qualified unemployable

a person who has spent many years aquiring a large range of qualifications/degrees from University or College yet they are still unemployable due to their qualifications meaning shit.

1. James just recieved his bachelor of "something" to add to his docterate in "something else" but he still cant get a job because his qualifications are worth fuck all in the real world. Now he is going to collect welfare and become a hippy 30 year old student. hence an over qualified unemployable

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.
