Marie Jahoda said that employment is a social institution with objective consequences that occur for all effected by it, overriding individual differences in feelings, thoughts, motivation and purpose (Fryer, 1995). Some of these, like earning a living, are intended or manifest. Others are unintended or latent.
According to Jahoda (Fryer, 1995): " employment makes the following categories of experience inevitable: it imposes a time structure on the waking day; it compels contacts and shared experiences with others outside the nuclear family; it demonstrates that there are goals and purposes which are beyond the scope of an individual but require a collectivity; it imposes status and social identity through the division of labour in modern employment; it enforces activity..."
For many people, the stress of being unemployed is devastating (Woolston, 2002). A recent study of more than 500,000 people in Great Britain revealed that people who said they were unemployed in a 1981 census were approximately three times more likely than employed people to commit suicide in the next decade.
Job loss seems to result in a serious erosion in people's sense of control and self-esteem," says William R. Avison, Ph.D., professor of sociology and leader of the University of Western Ontario study (Woolston, 2002). Because control and self-esteem are two limitations...
"I see it as a chain of events," Avison says (Woolston, 2002). "Many people have their first mental health problems of their lives after losing a job. And because of their illness, they may be more likely to lose future jobs."
It is clear that the impact of unemployment goes far beyond mental health. Extreme stress can make a person susceptible to many problems, from headaches to heart attacks (Woolston, 2002). Research indicates that people who have been unemployed suffer more than their share of heart disease and strokes. In fact, recent research estimates that every 1% rise in unemployment rates in the United States leads to 6,000 extra deaths per year.

Saudi For most of its existence, Saudi Arabia's economy has been driven by revenues from its massive oil fields. While this has allowed the country to have a healthy balance sheet, it has also discouraged investment in other areas. Other countries in the region have begun to realize that having an oil-dependent economy is not sustainable in the long run. Nations with burgeoning populations and limited resources tend to be unsustainable.

NAFTA The United States signed its first free trade agreement (FTA) with Canada in 1988, and soon began pursuing a subsequent deal with NAFTA that would replace and expand that deal.

The agreement was intended to increase trade between the three nations, building on the successes of that
When this happens, the standard of living and income levels will remain stagnant. (Bhargava, 2006, pp. 341 -- 362) (Cazurra, 2008, pp. 12 -- 27) Moreover, corruption will increase the costs of doing business inside a particular area. This is troubling, as it will lead to less employers relocating to the region. Instead, they will seek out locations where there are lower amounts of corruption. This is a part of
With the idea to globalize comes the concept of outsourcing - may it be in the form of supplies or even the very human resources.
