In India on an average the total unemployed persons in 2013 were 7.32%; Punjab alone reported 14-72 lakh unemployed persons belonging to age-group of 22-35 years. The objectives of the study were to assess the level of anxiety among graduate males (22-35 years) related to unemployment. A descriptive study was conducted on 100 unemployed graduate males from selected areas of Ludhiana, Punjab. Purposive sampling technique was used to draw sample. Data was collected by using BAI (Beck Anxiety Inventory). The present study revealed that out of 100 subjects, 58% were in the age group of 22-26 years, 51% followed the Hindu religion and 74% were never married. 60% were living in nuclear family, 63% had 3-7 members in family and 45% had family monthly income of 5001-10,000/-. Most (97%) were native, 66% subjects were unemployed from ≥ 1.5 years and 91% did not take substance in any form. More than half (53%) had very low anxiety, 40 % had moderate anxiety and only 7% had severe anxiety. It was concluded that more than half (53%) had very low anxiety, 40 % had moderate anxiety and only 7% had severe anxiety.
