In April, almost three -quarters (74 percent, in relation to March, a decline at 1 p.) Working did not take into account the possibility of losing their current job, i.e. dismissal, bankruptcy, liquidation of the workplace, farm, etc., and just over one -fifth (22 percent, the same as in March). Four out of one hundred respondents evaded the answer to this question (4 percent, increase by 1 percentage).
