The unemployment rate in Switzerland is 2.8%, according to the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs. These 132,000 or so people receive benefits and are supported by the Regional Job Placement Offices (ORP) to ensure rapid reintegration into the job market. On the unemployed side, the slightest deviations are punished, and can lead to suspension of financial assistance in the event of an insufficient number of applications, premature departure from training or refusal of a measure... How do unemployed people cope with this period, which the Federal Law on Unemployment Insurance wants to be as short as possible?
