Dear Sir:
RE; UNEMPLOYMENT AS A SOCIAL PROBLEM
I am writing to inform you that unemployment is a social evil which has enabled the growth of
poverty in America. In this case, most people have been raised above the poverty lines and make
the world a better place due to employment opportunities and job creations in other countries in
the continent. The federal government should consider the issue of employment because it has
impacted positively on the lives of most Americans ranging from the young and those people
who have secured employment in various government sectors.
The American social welfare enjoys the social act of 1935which was implemented by
Franklin Roosevelt on employment. The act has supported programs of job security and public
assistance. Just to mention, unemployment will reduce the country’s GDP, hence a reduction in
the country economic growth. The office of the federal official should focus on job creations
and address the issue of unemployment at all costs.
The federal state should enable the assistance of the young Americans between age 18 to
retirement age to engage in substantial employment. However, in this case, when the individual
turns the age of 65 years, the individuals will be able to access the old age benefits. Just to
mention, the individual who are medically challenged at work must provide the medical proof

that suggests their state of disability during employment. The medical report should contain
proof which suggests that the disability will derail the individual from any form of gainful
employment.The federal state should formulate strategies that will help the Americans to
eradicate poverty through job creations which will improve their standards of living.
