      ab: A review of the literature on employee discharge in the twentieth century reveals that the level of discharges is positively associated with the quit rate, inversely associated with age, seniority, and skill level, and unrelated to union membership. Employee discharge may occur for unsatisfactory performance, misconduct, interpersonal problems, or other reasons related to employee behavior. Critics have attacked employers' right to discharge nonunionized employees “at will,” but the employment-at-will doctrine has remained essentially intact. The literature has concentrated on understanding the causes of turnover among manufacturing industry employees, and recent studies have focused on employers' responses to questionnaires. Discharged workers do experience longer periods of unemployment than other separated workers. Since World War II, the state of the economy seems to be the strongest influence on the annual discharge rate.
