Unemployment is 20%. My guess is that drinking, drugs, family violence, crime and suicide are all on the increase.

Just came back from a month living with the locals. Unemployment for adults is high and for young people its worse. The young are losing hope and motivation. We've seen this pattern before for young people living in poverty here in the US for generations.
