From what I heard, in the EU if you loose work you will get plenty of support from your Gov. Wish that was the case were I am.
In NA, especially in the US, you get a bit of support. But after a period of time, you will be homeless. The period of time depends upon your State. I think in all cases, this period of support, will not exceed 1 year, some states much less. Also that support itself, is no were near the amount needed to cover basic living expenses.
This means, in the US, many people would have a very hard time saying no to the a high salary.
And there seems to be a trend where Companies will not hire people where were unemployed at the time of the interview. Luckily right now that trend seems to have reversed somewhat due to the skill work shortage.
- fullspectrumdev 3y agoDepends where in the EU (it’s not all equal) but yeah. The high taxes generally mean there’s some support if you lose your job. The amount of support varies wildly and is situationally dependant. Eg: as an Irish person working and paying taxes in Germany, when I lost my job there was significantly less help available than there was to a German colleague. Which shouldn’t be the case, but it is.
