Would dropping "that are" cause some ungrammaticality or change the meaning of the sentence?In this room, there are five people that are unemployed.
When referring to people, we generally use the relative pronoun who. ...five people who are unemployed.
So, would dropping "that/who are" cause some ungrammaticality or change the meaning of the sentence?
It would sound awkward to my ear unless you changed the position of the adjective.
"In this room there are five unemployed people."

But the crisis we face today is not just about debt – it's about jobs. There are already two and a half million people unemployed. That could rise as high as three million.
Is there a rule for when to move an adjective to right after a noun?
