&quot;Fear of unemployment&quot; is a necessary abstraction, but consider what unemployment actually means.<p>Let&#x27;s say you are unemployed, and living with your parents-- a very common situation for this generation. You&#x27;re getting bled each month by your student loans, even if you no other bills, which you probably do. The candidate wants to work at any one of those 40 places, because otherwise they go into default and ruin their credit and probably their parents&#x27; credit too.<p>If you don&#x27;t live at home, the stakes are losing your apartment or car. This isn&#x27;t some unreasonable fear; bills need to get paid, and there&#x27;s an entire generation that is struggling to do so because their largest bill just won&#x27;t go away.
