The land of unemployment

What the lady is experiencing isn't unique to her, far from it actually. South Africa is notorious for having one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the world. According to StatsSA, South Africa's unemployment rate currently sits at 31.9%, unusually high for any country in the world.
