Older welters suffer from low levels of formal education and skills while young workers lack experience. Some age dis- crimination may be a contrkb- uting factor to job insecurity. Women are especially vulnerable to layoffs because they are often new entrants to the-Tibour marke.t and because of the types of jobs they hold. Women have been employed traditionally in low level and low skill jobs and in jobs which are tempolury, part-time, or casual. Such wotkers are easily replaced when business improves and often do not have the protec- tion of seniority and otIkr union:negotiated layoff pro- visions. Many laid -off workers suffer considerable emo- tional and economic stress, as a result of job lbss. The most direct and easily measured impact is, of course, income loss. Lack of fringe benefits and savings is less easy to measure but important. Loss of pension benefits is par- ticularly difficult for older workers nearing retiternent-1 as their final earning years are often the most important in assuring adecpiate retire- ment benefits. Age is also a critical factor in. re -employ - Meat.

Inevitably, of course, un- skilled and semi -skilled workers tend to„ have more priklems in finding new jobs than skilled workers. MAW - studies have reported that a significant number of laid off workers are forced to accept less desirable jobs which pay fess and are part-time or temporary. One report est- imated that about two out 'Of every five re-employed workers are downgraded in skill level in their new jobs. Based upon information in several studies, job loss in itself does not appear to' be crucial, rather it is the extent and duretion of loss of in- come that is most important. Of course, the impact of job loss is not merely eco- nomic. People's work has the potential to meet several needs.

A number of studies have found that workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own experience feelings of bitterness and rage.
