Due to the economical situation, many companies started lay off qualified employees without taking into consideration the obligations and responsibilities that those employees might have. Many other companies started reducing commissions and monthly salaries in their attempt to survive the current circumstances.
That's resulted in many losing their income and consequently to their ability to support their families. Even those who didn't lose their job yet, many of them have the fear of losing it soon, and that result in anxiety and stress that might even affect the person health.
