Sommario/riassunto

The most important contribution to this book comes from the authors, all of whom have been students of the unemployment insurance program for many years. They share a common belief in the importance of unemployment insurance as a critical component of the American social insurance system as well as the need for comprehensive reform of the system to assure its effectiveness and efficiency in the 21st century.
