Most people who are now unemployed had jobs before the coronavirus shutdowns because they would choose a steady job over unemployment with benefits and not knowing when they'll be back at work. The same people who wanted businesses shut down for the virus are the ones trying to give the workers shit about unemployment benefits and getting new jobs and reopening. The fucked up thing is the same people are also wanting the newly unemployed people they want to get back to work now to freak out all over again in the fall if a second wave arrives and they lose the jobs they've had for about 3 or 4 months, when they want the businesses shut down again.
Most people who are unemployed dont want to keep being unemployed forever. If you've been unemployed before, you know it's not fun, it's not a vacation.

A state of being in which one does not hold a current job; being lazy because you have no choice; the reality that nobody wants to hire you.

When you are dating a girl, and she hasn't given you either a blowjob or a handjob...you haven't gotten any "job" yet
Guy #1: Yo dude, did she finally at least blow you last night?
Guy #2: Nope, no hand job either. I'm still unemployed.

What you are when you don't have a job.

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'".
