Limited Capacity filling up
It’s bad enough to be out of work, but try filing for unemployment benefits, finding job openings that fit your skill sets, navigating public transit to get to job interviews, going through training that may or may not result in a job, and getting bumped off benefits for taking gigs that could lead to full-time employment. This is the “UX” of unemployment, and it’s broken. The good news is that cities, communities, and employers have the power to revolutionize the unemployment experience--and at a relatively low cost--by making use of a more user-driven mindset.
