Calm down!

Things that should terrify you:

- bioweapons

- nuclear war

- the collapse of society

- a civilization ending solar flare

- a comet striking earth

- a mega volcano

Gyrations in the job market are worrying, especially for young people, but they should not terrify you.

Eh, this totally depends on magnitude.

Great depression level 'gyrations' leads to mass unemployment, social unrest, starvation, and war.
