At the Independent Alice-Azania Jarvis compiled a brief reading list about unemployment.

The title on the list under "classic:"

'Down and Out in Paris and London' by George Orwell

Orwell's first full-length work recounts his experience of living on the margins. In Paris, he embraces a kind of bohemian poverty, living day-to-day, spending his last money on cigarettes and working restaurant kitchens. In London, things become far grimmer: homeless and unemployed, he experiences the squalor of hostels and life on the street.
