If you were to eliminate 10% of jobs with no replacements available, in the span of say a year, that would likely be a civilization ending development. People unable to feed their families tend to take drastic actions.

I’d probably adjust that to at least 50%. Many European counties had extended high youth unemployment, but minimal political unrest.
That drastic action is usually working a menial service job.
