About the Unemployment Briefcase Cross black filled icon

A wide business briefcase with an arched handle, a central clasp plate and a round button sits behind a circled X badge that overlaps its bottom edge. The crossed-out case reads immediately as work stopped, making it a fit for unemployment statistics, layoff news articles, benefit claim portals, recession reports and HR or recruitment dashboards showing closed roles.

The badge breaks the briefcase outline where it overlaps, so the cancel mark stays legible instead of merging into the case. It pairs with job search, resume and hiring icons, which use the same briefcase base for contrast. Keep the badge at least a quarter of the icon width when scaling.

This is the solid black filled version of the unemployment briefcase cross icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.
