The traumatic impact of job loss and job search in the aftermath of COVID-19.

Instability in the global economy in the wake of COVID-19 has resulted in millions of people losing access to employment. As a result, these same individuals will be faced with the pain of job loss in the present and the stress of the job search process in the future. This commentary seeks to draw attention to the psychological trauma that can result from job loss and job search and motivate psychologists to consider issues of work-life spillover in the aftermath of the pandemic.
