The social security system, which expanded rapidly during the prosperous 1950s and 1960s, has numerous programs, including a medical system, unemployment insurance coverage, child allowances, invalid benefits and other benefits and pensions. With the onset of a recession in the 1970s, this system became an increasing burden on the economy and accounted for much of the government budget deficits. Unemployment, which declined from a high of 14.3% in 1984 to an average of 8.5% in 1999, has become less of a problem recently. However, more than 60% of the unemployed have been so for ...

Their role was to support Infantry in the assault, using their large guns to destroy bunkers, buildings, dug-in crew-served weapons, and other 'soft' targets. They were also capable of taking on almost any German AFV if the need arose. Once a breakthrough was achieved, lighter, mor ...

The most drastic termination of employment is involuntary termination, in its most severe form known as "firing", "sacking", "canning", or "shit-canning".

In a postmodern risk economy, such as that in United States, a large proportion of workers will be laid off at some time in their l ...
