Actually, they're both evidence. What count are their respective strength.
Nevertheless, your data point suggest we could characterize the "partying unemployed". I'd guess these people are mostly, young, middle class, don't have any family to feed, and can count on their parents to back them up if they really mess up. (Some of these factors are of course correlated by causation links.)

They've all been students in the recent past, which corresponds to an inexpensive lifestyle... and they still get the same amount of unemployment as anyone else. One particularly striking example is a fellow who works summers fighting fires for the forest service, and is "unemployed" the rest of the year. It's not a safety net or insurance in his case, it's planned (I'm unsure as to whether he's able to do this repeatedly, or only for the one year).
