This sort of information or prediction should not only be useful for employers but also employees, because having a consciousness that you may soon be laid off work will push you into trying to maybe establish your own business as a backup plan or improve the skills you already have to make sure that you are indispensable for the company you work for or push you into starting to look for a better job opportunity now, even before you are being laid off.

This sort of information will put pressure on you and force you to think your way into your next level.
