2. Another huge issue is underemployment.

A great many people who formerly had great jobs/careers are now working in much lower paying jobs.
Many have taken low-paying jobs because their Unemployment Compensation benefits ran out after just 6-months.
Another stong motivator is maintaining health insurance, if your coverage lapses, pre-existing conditions are usually excluded when you seek new coverage.
