Unemployed and dating?

The economy is starting to get better.  The unemployment rate has dropped under 9%.  I think it is something like 8.8% or 8.5%.  Hiring is picking up. BUT there are still people who are unemployed or underemployed.

Which means some pockets are empty and some purse strings are tight.  You even have separated couples moving back in together to save money. (Which tells me they probably don't have issues so detrimental as to not work things out...but surely I digress...)

Anywhoo.  That leads me to the questions: 

1. Should dating be out of the question when you're unemployed?
2. Would you date someone who is unemployed?
3. If you were unemployed would dating still be on the agenda?
4. Should employment status even matter while dating?

Ever heard this song? LOL.  S/O to @A_E_M from Twitter for reminding me of it! LMBO (Ain't nothin' goin on but the rent!)
