Unemployment has affected so many of all ages and economic ranges. People have had their lives turned upside down and have had to make adjustments. One of the populations affected that is particularly hit hard is those in midlife.

People in midlife may face issues of their own. But they might be squeezed by issues of other generations. They may have kids who have student loans. They have older family members who need care. They have their own problems to deal with in addition.
