Background: This study explores the relationship between psychological resilience and future anxiety among unemployed workers in the Jerusalem Governorate. It focuses on how resilience helps reduce anxiety about the future in the context of the region's economic and political challenges .

Methods: The study utilized a correlational approach, targeting a sample of unemployed workers selected through convenience sampling. It used standardized scales for measuring psychological resilience and future anxiety, both of which showed high validity and reliability. Various statistical analyses were conducted to explore the relationships between variables. 

Results: The findings indicated that participants exhibited moderate levels of psychological resilience and future anxiety. Significant differences were found in future anxiety based on gender, with males experiencing higher anxiety. Age and duration of unemployment also affected future anxiety, particularly in areas like thinking about the future and fear of failure. There was a negative correlation between psychological resilience and future anxiety, suggesting that higher resilience is associated with lower anxiety. 

Conclusions: The results highlight the importance of psychological resilience in mitigating future anxiety among unemployed workers. This suggests the need for targeted interventions to enhance resilience, particularly for individuals with lower education and those facing prolonged unemployment.
