 * Article Evaluation
 * Needs a gendered lens in several areas, including how the COVID-19 pandemic affected women (most notably WOC) and in the section labeled "gender" where it only lists unemployment statistics for men. Additionally, I would like to focus on how unemployment plays a role in people's mental states (i.e. how unemployment affects people's mental and physical health because our society focuses on employment as success and values employed people) I am specifically interested in the dehumanization of unemployed people as this will be the topic of my paper.
 * The article is not written neutrally as it focuses on men, even when intersecting with other marginalizations like race. It's focus is mainly on economics, so, while the citations are legitimate, it does not paint an accurate portrait of the country and the affect of unemployment on everyone.
