【正确答案】Laying-off
With the development of national economy, a worrying social problem also arises—more and more workers are laid off these years.
The laying-off phenomenon will bring many unfavorable consequences. First and foremost, the life of laid-off workers can be very difficult. What makes matters worse, some of them even lost hope of life. Finally, if this matter is not properly settled, it will pose a threat to national security.
It is high time that we called on the efforts from all sides to deal with this problem properly. For one thing, the government should create more job vacancies for those who have been laid off. For another, laid-off workers should seize every chance to begin a new career. Finally, the mass media should also play a positive role in helping laid-off workers find new posts.
No matter whether this problem is a natural result of social development, it is important that we find a satisfactory solution to it in this social transformation era.
