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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
