Abstract

A federal unemployment insurance scheme has been in place in the United States for more than 80 years. It has helped to cushion the effects of successive crises without the need for large fiscal transfers between American states. It provides an example of an unemployment insurance model based on temporary transfers and subsidiarity between federal and state governments. Un système d’assurance chômage fédéral est en place depuis plus de 80 ans aux États-Unis. Il a contribué à amortir les effets des crises sans nécessiter de transferts budgétaires importants entre États fédérés. Ceci fournit l’exemple d’un système d’assurance chômage fondé sur des transferts temporaires et sur un modèle de subsidiarité entre niveaux fédéral et étatique.
