Scientific Summary

I recently asked twenty people at my workplace what would happen to you and your family if you got laid off? Everyone i asked was married and between the ages of 25-45. Every person said first and foremost they would worry about their kids and/ or spouse, next they said they would worry about all the bills that would be due. I then asked them what part of their life would be affected the most by the involuntary career change? 14 of the people said that it would be a very large strain on their marriage and the other 6 people said the biggest part that would be affected would be their social life because they wouldn't have any money to go out with their friends. I thought that was pretty interesting most people worry about their marriage and some worry about their social status. On this website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1513637. it shows that people who are wealthy dont experience as many long term affects as the lower class people.No matter your social status or financial well being a sudden job loss could happen to anyone.
