There are a lot of people who are also "stuck" in the bad jobs or dead-end jobs but aren't leaving due to the bills to pay, mostly rent I'd say. The rent is rampantly high these days so you can't handle it unless you're constantly working or have solid savings, even then those get depleted pretty fast. I do like the idea of "More risk is what we all need". Ultimately we can't sit idle or keep hiding, need to take action.

One thing that has always puzzled me about unemployment figures is when people “leave the workforce” and simply do not return, what are these people doing day in and day out? If I leave the workforce, and sit out, I can’t pay for my rent, my car payment, etc. Money has to come in from some source.
