unemployment relief
Help without work
Unemployment relief refers to financial assistance or other support provided to workers who have lost their jobs, typically through government programs.
Such relief may take the form of direct payments, job training, or public works employment.
The term was especially common during the Great Depression era, when mass joblessness prompted unprecedented government intervention.
The New Deal included several unemployment relief programs.
Modern equivalents are more often called unemployment insurance or unemployment benefits.
