Question

:D Happy Easter from the USA. Can someone Help me out?

Answer 1

Mergers between companies and takeovers by one company of part of another have become facts of American economic life. These actions occur when companies large and small run into trouble and put themselves up for sale. Even some businesses that are not for sale can be the targets of hostile takeovers by competitors or other buyers who find the business attractive.

Workers who are employed by companies that are taken over, often worry about job security, fearing that the new owners might hire new staff or eliminate their jobs. The new owners may decide to stop producing or selling some of the products of the company they purchased.

Nearly 50 percent of the people who lost their jobs in 1998 became unemployed because their company moved or closed a plant. Another third were let go because their positions were eliminated.

Even so, some workers benefit from the shifting business scene. Stable companies sometimes take advantage of shake-ups elsewhere by offering good jobs to the skilled employees of companies in transition.
