Poll: 47% of Unemployed Have 'Completely Given Up' Looking for a Job

A new poll suggests that finding employment, particularly for the long-term
unemployed, continues to be a struggle for Americans. The poll, conducted by
Harris Poll on behalf of Express Employment Professionals, asked questions
of 1,500 unemployed adult Americans last month.
“This survey shows that millions of Americans are at risk of falling into
the trap of prolonged unemployment, and it should give policymakers a
greater sense of urgency to focus on the singular goal of creating jobs,"
said Bob Funk, CEO of Express and a former Chairman of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Kansas City, in a release. "We can take heart that in these
difficult times the American spirit of confident hopefulness endures, but we
can’t accept this status quo—not for our country, not for our unemployed
neighbors.”
Some of the key findings:
47 percent agree with the statement, “I’ve completely given up on
looking for a job.” (7 percent said they “agree completely,” 7 percent “
agree a lot,” 15 percent “agree somewhat,” and 18 percent “agree a
little.”)
60 percent say looking for work has been harder than expected. 10
percent say it’s been easier than expected.
Nevertheless, 91 percent agree with the statement, “I’m hopeful that I
will find a job I really want in the next six months.”
Additionally, 46 percent of the unemployed respondents reported not having
had any job interviews in the prior month and 23 percent report their last
interview was in 2012. The poll also shows that a significant percentage of
the unemployed are not currently receiving jobless benefits. Only 20 percent
said they were currently receiving unemployment compensation. But among
those receiving government assistance, the poll suggests the aid may be
diminishing their incentive to find employment:
However, in a response that raises issues about whether unemployment
compensation should be extended or allowed to run out, 82 percent of those
receiving benefits said if their unemployment compensation were to run out
prior to their finding a job, they would “search harder and wider for a job
.” Only 18 percent say they would “be in such despair that I will give up
looking for work altogether.”

48 percent agree that they “haven’t had to look for work as hard”
thanks to unemployment compensation.
72 percent agree that compensation has been a “cushion” and 62 percent
agree with the statement, “It has allowed me to take time for myself.”
The survey also shows that the unemployed are predominantly male—57 percent
vs. 43 percent female—and also skew younger. More than half of all
unemployed are under 40 and one third are under the age of 30. Finally, 45
percent of respondents say the economy is "most responsible" for them being
out of work, 36 percent cite "themselves" as being responsible, and 18
percent blame the government for their lack of employment.
