Being unemployed could warp your personality, study says

Being unemployed could warp your personality, study says | Fox News: New research suggests being unemployed may actually alter a person's "core personality" for the worse, making it harder to secure new employment, per the American Psychological Association.

A study published in the APA's Journal of Applied Psychology looked at nearly 6,769 German adults who took a personality test at two points during a four-year period; 210 of the subjects were unemployed for one to four years during this period, while 251 were briefly unemployed but got another job within a year.
