Financial Advice for the Working Class: Unemployment Don’t have a job? Most people think this is a disaster. Could it be the context for a post-capitalist society?

You can’t turn on the news these days without hearing about unemployment. The national unemployment rate hovers at about 8.3 percent, although experts agree that the number of people outof-work far exceeds that figure.

The 8.3 percent figure only reflects the number of people actually looking for work. It does not count the growing number of people who have stopped looking for work.
