Unemployment benefits

unemployment relief

The unemployed army is a reserve labor force used to expand reproduction under the capitalist system. At the same time, capitalists use unemployment to strengthen the exploitation of employed workers. The bourgeois government gives lower unemployment benefits to unemployed workers so that they can maintain a poverty-stricken life. Fundamentally, it is one of the means to maintain the capitalist system. Before 1949, the national economy was severely damaged, and national industries were declining, which caused a large number of unemployed groups in cities. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to solve the problem of unemployment, the State Council issued the "Instructions on Relieving Unemployed Workers" in 1950, and the Ministry of Labor issued the "Interim Measures on Relieving Unemployed Workers." These measures determine the relief measures taken for unemployed workers, mainly focusing on work for workers, and meanwhile take measures such as production self-help, job transfer training, and help in returning home to produce and distributing relief. The implementation of various measures quickly realized the reasonable placement of the unemployed.

U.S. first applies for unemployment benefits

The data show that after seasonal adjustment, in the week ending November 22, 2014, the number of people who applied for unemployment benefits for the first time in the United States was 31.3 million, an increase of 21,000 from the revised figure the previous week. During the same period, the four-week moving average of the number of first-time jobless claims that were less volatile increased by 6250 to 294 thousand from the previous week.

The data also shows that in the week ending November 15, 2014, the number of people receiving unemployment benefits nationwide was 23.116 million, a decrease of 17 thousand from the revised figure the previous week, the lowest value since early December 2000.

According to data released by the US Department of Labor on November 7, 2014, the United States non-agricultural sector added 210,400 jobs in October 2014. The unemployment rate fell from 5.9% previously to 5.8%, the lowest level since 2008, indicating that the job market has maintained a steady recovery. ^[1]

Unemployed people who lack math and English skills will be forced to take both courses to upgrade their skills, otherwise they will face a crisis of cuts in benefits.
The new plan provides that all applicants for benefits will be assessed starting in April 2004. Evaluated unemployed people who are unable to express their ideas properly or have barriers to reading and writing will be singled out for a compulsory course. This move has the potential to address the high levels of illiteracy among UK "loafers" and the unemployed. These people are struggling at work. Employers complain that they cannot express themselves properly and do not write fluently in English.
The course will teach these people the difference between standard English and slang, how to write letters, fill out forms, and answer employers' questions in complete sentences in job interviews and phone calls. The government believes that the plan will reduce the difficulty of the unemployed when seeking a job and help many people who have never learned to read and write. ^[2]
