I think the deeper question here is how eager are the recently-unemployed to find another job and what is the key motivating factor to get another job? I think it's highly related to how people in different countries view the world of work. I can't speak for other countries, but in the US, I think that most people view work as a necessary evil. They don't view their jobs as opportunities to make a self-satisfying difference. It's just a place to trade 40 hours (or more) a week for a paycheck. Most American workers feel overworked and constantly exhausted. When they lose their jobs, depending on their financial situation, they don't rush to find the next one. This is most likely because they use their period of unemployment as a substitute for the rest they didn't get while working. Perhaps if we improved the world of work, the world of unemployment would also improve.
