Is unemployment a great problem where you live now?
Unfortunately but absolutely. It's rather hard to get a job around here - there isn't a whole lot of an economy, nothing of the sort where the money in the area would have any value outside of it. So most jobs don't really pay in money but generally in favours or promises - which doesn't help in the end because you're still required to pay for things using an actual currency.

Do you know people who have lost their jobs recently?
I wouldn't say they've lost their jobs recently but definitely within the last year or so!

What do you think the role of the government is in regulating the unemployment situation?
It's for the most part their fault - where not always directly responsible I do think they're partially responsible in not finding different ways of making things work in the favour of the people.

How should the government help people who have lost their jobs?
They should be compensated by offering another decently paying job - and generally they should be putting more effort into straightening up the economy.
