The unemployment office in the state of Pennsylvania. The system was much better in the past until a Facebook Update in the summer of 2021 completely overhauled the system.
The customer service system became is now one of the worst in the US. If you contact them for help, they clearly refuse to fix your issue. They log your issue with a ticket number and force you to wait for three weeks due to 70,000 people being ahead of you. And when they contact you, you'll end up missing the call and getting an email instead, forcing you to open a new ticket and wait three more weeks because your issue was not resolved.
If you ever experienced this, just contact a lawyer and sue the crap out of the Commonwealth of PA.
And this is from a Commonwealth of PA employee.

Kyle: Dude, the PA unemployment system now is awful. All they did was set up a ticketing system forcing you to wait weeks for a response to your issue.
Chris: Yeah, I'm still waiting for my ticket to be rung up. It's been a week now.

There's more people angered by the job loss and threat of loss of unemployment benefits than there are people scared of the thought of losing everything. These are people that lost their jobs not over performance or attendance, but for no reason other than a group of people made it their agenda to shut everything down.
Unemployment isn't scary, neither is losing everything. It's all the effort people put towards working and saving being turned into bullshit by the same people who want everything shut down.

Is a virtual and real reality that you can't get employment for the following reasons.One,you don't have a legally provable resume that an employer would consider of value to shortlist because of huge year gaps in employment.Two,you don't have a high enough credit rating and score for an employer to consider you valuable enough to hire.Three,you don't have a social media profile that others would consider monetarily valuable enough to buy or acquire from you.Four,if you have complained enough to government or business about your employability woes and no one will go to bat for you to get yourself employed that is another sign.Five,you were not smart enough as a youth to make sure that you knew who and whom had access to your employment documentation when you sent it to companies without any conditions attached.That is always a sign that you are not in control of your career or careers in any manner.Sixth,when you have not been able to know who read your online employment documentation because you couldn't afford to spy on your employment documentation readers,that is another sign.
Bono in the Celtic Connection for November 2011 said that he was virtually unemployable without being in the U2 band,he meant that would not be employable outside of his band.

The difference between hiring graduate and students compared to hires experienced professionals and then mixing them together and kicking some out and hiring at random.
No one could believe there where so many unemployed experieced people with degrees, it must be the unemployment rate. But it could also be the morons prioritizing people without work degree hires for ones without who have more experience.

(ECONOMICS) Total unemployed, as a percent of the civilian labor force (official unemployment rate). Does not include discouraged workers. Also referred to as "U-3" by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
The BLS regularly publishes six estimates of unemployment. The others are U-1, U-3, U-4, U-5, and U-6. Eurostat publishes one monthly estimate of unemployment for the European Union, which is approximately midway between U-3 and U-4.
The unemployment statistics for the USA are collected through a monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) (also known as the household survey) and an establishment survey.

Given the way the government's headline unemployment rate is calculated, it can never reach 14%. This is because the civilian labor force includes only people who are working or have looked for a job in the previous four weeks. When the economy gets really bad (like now), unemployed workers get discouraged and give up looking for jobs. This causes the civilian labor force to decline as fast or faster than total employment.
