It's also about social opinion, go to a wedding for example, meet strangers, they ask what do you do?
Tell them I'm unemployed, you're put in a box in their mind, being able to say I'm a splurge wrangler is an important part of how others react to a person.
Just as you personally react as if someone these day's chooses to be unemployed.
No they don't in most cases, when 3,500 folk put themselves forward for a job of shelf filler at a local Tesco, there aren't that many other jobs or you wouldn't get that many applicants.
