In what year was unemployment insurance (now called 'employment insurance') introduced by the federal government?

  1. 1940

  2. 1951

  3. 1965

  4. 1970

The correct answer is: 1940

Unemployment insurance, now known as employment insurance, was first introduced by the federal government in 1940. This was done in response to the Great Depression and the need to provide financial assistance to those who were unemployed. Options B, C, and D are all incorrect as they are later years and unemployment insurance was already in place by then.
