It also aimed to find out the level of unemployment anxiety and quality of life. The researcher used the descriptive method. The study sample consisted of 395 students for the academic year 2018/2019, selected by cluster random sampling. After checking their psychometric characteristics, the results showed that the level of unemployment anxiety among final year students was high, and their quality-of-life assessment was low. The results also showed a negative correlative relationship between the degree of unemployment anxiety and the quality-of-life scores. Also, there are differences between males and females on the unemployment anxiety concern scale for males, but there are no differences in the quality-of-life measure according to the gender variable. The study provides some recommendations to reduce the level of unemployment anxiety and improve the quality of life for students. (Published abstract)
