We use the words "jobless" and "unemployed" in roughly the same grammatical formulation and to the same effect. Jobless focuses on the individual, unemployment focuses on structural factors.
- carmen_sandiego 6y agoThe target of both 'jobless' and 'unemployed' is the individual, so I'm not sure how you arrive at your assertion that one doesn't focus on the individual.
- meepmorp 6y agoJoblessness is used as a synonym for unemployment in lots of news sources, as are adjectival forms like jobless claims, jobless rate, jobless benefits, etc. I understand the point you want to make, but you're not making it.
