The Mission
The world is changing fast, but the systems meant to help people thrive haven’t kept up. The Unemployment Society highlights the frustrations, inefficiencies, and contradictions in today’s access and expectations of education, employment and money. Through conversations, research, and community stories, we reimagine what a fair, functional, and future-ready system could look like.
