Unemployment insurance

Unemployment insurance is a means of protecting workers who are out of work and looking for employment. These unemployed workers receive cash payments, usually each week for a limited period. Besides aiding individual workers, unemployment insurance may help limit slumps in business activity by enabling unemployed people to buy goods and services. Such purchases help preserve existing jobs. Most industrial nations have government-sponsored unemployment insurance systems. More »
