Fighting Despair from Catastrophic Employment Gaps in the current 2025 Market.

Having employment gaps, especially long term, is undeniably catastrophic for the jobseeker.

I hate that good people's health and lives can be drastically impacted for reasonable gaps and written off simply as "too risky."

This is the harsh and sad truth of how it works and it is despicable.Honestly, I've seen people despair and even become suicidal. And it can happen to someone who's doing "everything right".

Their ability to build the life they want and need is significantly blunted.

What can we do to make a difference if anything at all for those who are genuinely disadvantaged?

What advice would you give these people beyond the traditional "dont give up, you're not alone"?
