One thing that will add to the rising unemployment is that not only are people getting laid off, but Baby-Boomers who are reaching retirement age will not retire. They will continue in the workforce keeping their jobs to survive. This will prevent any younger people from coming into the workforce and taking their jobs. As unemployment rises so will crime and stress. During 2009, you will see protests in cities by people who have lost their jobs. As these protests become larger and occur more often, some will turn violent. There will be many violent protests in the streets over lack of jobs. As unemployment rises, all types of crimes will also rise, starting with muggings and carjacking in the streets. Burglaries and breaking and entering will also rise, both in homes and in businesses.
Shoplifting during open hours will rise also in all types of stores. Anything that can be eaten or sold will be stolen off shelves. The stress of no job will put a high level of strain on families. This added stress will cause a rise in domestic violence. Scams of all types will prevail primarily around real estate, jobs scams, get-rich-quick schemes, work from home scams, and all types of proposed opportunities where you don’t have to work much but the return seems high. People will fall for these scams and all ages will be targeted. Workplace crime will also be on the rise, not only theft from the company but also theft from co-workers. Some office crime will be violent due to the high levels of stress people are experiencing because now they are doing the work of two or three people. Companies will spend a great amount of money to combat theft and crime in the workplace. Piracy on the high seas will skyrocket. Criminals around the world see the enormous ransoms being paid for high jacking a boat or ship and this will draw more and more people into piracy. When the statistics on crime come out for 2009, they will be up over 100%. In addition to all his other challenges, President Obama will be distracted by domestic crime. Not only the ones we’ve just mentioned but kidnappings for ransom and express kidnappings off the street for money and jewelry will increase.

But, it will be several years before unemployment begins to turn around.
