I don't follow. What government pressures companies to lay people off?


There are many government pressures that cause this unpleasant business to happen; it could have been a ridiculous fine for having to many employees or a bad percentage of a certain kind of person or some other fine.


This is completely untrue and incomprehensible. Governments increase their tax base. Unemployed people mean draining tax coffers to cover unemployment insurance claims. A fine for having too many employees?


Especially in an election year.
