Preferred term

job security  

Definition

  • Job security is based on an implicit (or explicit) contract between an employer and an employee for long-term employment. It is one of the core characteristics of the traditional full-time job, but scholars note that the level of job security has been declining in the United States since the 1970s because of economic crises, increasing global competition, and employers’ desire for more flexibility in the workplace.
