It causes fear in the population to see so many relatives, friends and neighbors out work, and fear breeds obedience in those still employed who don't want to see their lives fall apart as others who are unemployed have. Good obedient workers who don't complain, don't ask for raises, are willing to give up benefits, are willing to work extra time off the clock, are willing to forgo vacations, are willing to work from home, where possible, when sick ... is exactly what the Corporations, who front for the nation's elite, want. Americans in debt, and terrified of losing everything if they step out of line are better than slaves.
