Widespread unemployment

Unemployment occurs when a person actively seeking work cannot find it. In a society such as this it will be nigh impossible for one to find work. Hence the term socioeconomic collapse. With inflation running high and crime rates also at that level, it would be best to stay at home, possibly visiting only close friends and relatives if they are nearby. Unemployed people who are not prepared may turn to desperate measures. Be sure to always protect yourself, your family, and your home first. See that everything is set in order before you attempt to go outside. You yourself may become unemployed, if so being prepared is best because you can fall back on what you have stockpiled over the months and years. If you are safe, you can also conduct trade with local neighbors and become a beacon of hope among those in need. Be careful of making people feel entitled to your possessions though. It is important to show to these people that although you are kind, generous, thoughtful, and compassionate, that you are also a force to be reckoned with and not to be treated lightly. This slight show of your resourcefulness and strength will help in your dealings with every day people.
