Economic uncertainty: helping employees cope.
1. The loss or threat of losing a job may have profound physiological, psychological, and behavioral effects on employees. 2. Middle aged men deteriorate more in the first year after losing a job than younger or older men. 3. It is important that unemployed people make a commitment to purposeful activity and see work in a broader definition. 4. Parents may need reminding to praise their children more than usual and continue positive family activities and routines during times of unemployment.
