Every day a factory somewhere closes down and every day someone gets laid off as companies are forced to cut back and rationalise.
And every day someone thinks up yet another way in which computers or robots can replace people.

In the future, being unemployed from time to time is something most people will have to go through, as the days of 'a job for life' (or even for a half of one's life) are long past.
