The article, “The effects of low-pay and unemployment on psychological well-being: A logistic regression approach,” speaks on the correlation between unemployment and mental distress. The results showed that, generally, if you are unemployed, you are more likely to encounter mental distress. One of my peers mentioned that, “Since this study was conducted in a relatively strong economic period, [he/she] would assume most people out of the labor market would be due to choice and their psychological well-being would not be affected. [He/She] was surprised to see that being out of the labor force had significant effects on well-being for certain subgroups.” However, I think that despite how much an economy is prospering, there will still be those that face unemployment unwillingly. While there may be people who choose not to work, there are always a significant group that are struggling due to unemployment. This will ultimately leave an impact on you, which was seen by the data given in the article.
