The first unemployment insurance was introduced in the United Kingdom as the National Insurance Act in 1911.  The next country to follow was Germany, in the year 1927. In the USA Wisconsin was the first state to start this program in 1932. Prior to this workers who were laid off did not receive any  recompensation at all and had to rely on themselves to survive.
