Etymology
The term 'unemployed' originated in the early 19th century, derived from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the past participle of 'employ'. It gained popularity during times of economic downturns when many individuals were without work and seeking employment opportunities. The concept of unemployment has evolved over the years, with various government programs and policies aimed at supporting those who are out of work.
