How can unemployment cause gambling addiction?

It is quite sad that unemployment is a leading factor for developing a gambling addiction. Unemployment can cause feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness, and can make someone feel like they have nothing to lose by gambling.
The feeling of isolation that can come with unemployment can also make someone more likely to turn to gambling as a way to escape their negative feelings and socialize.

Unemployment can be a major risk factor for developing a gambling addiction. When people are unemployed, they may have more free time, which can lead to boredom and a desire to find a way to fill that time. Additionally, people who are unemployed may feel a loss of purpose and meaning in their lives, which can also lead to increased gambling. Gambling may also be seen as a way to make money or to escape from the stress and uncertainty of being unemployed. Finally, the financial pressures of being unemployed can lead people to view gambling as a way to get out of debt or to catch up on bills.
