According to a study published in Social Science and Medicine, fear of unemployment is much worse than actual unemployment in terms of long-term health problems.

Besides the resulting unemployment, some researchers fear this would waste an opportunity to use the new data to reveal the true workings of the sources and sinks of gases.

Some economists fear that unemployment, now a touch over 6%, might reach 10%; in 1933 it was about 25%, and many of those in work were on short time and short pay.
