About the Unemployment Briefcase Cross black outline 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 black outline version of the unemployment briefcase cross icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
It downloads free as an SVG vector or transparent PNG in seven sizes, and the free online editor lets you recolor it, apply gold, silver, neon and gradient styles, add animation, or convert it to EPS, PDF and DXF.
