Full text of North Dakota North Dakota Century Code § 52-01-05 — Declaration of public policy, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 52-01-05. Declaration of public policy
Involuntary unemployment creates a hardship on the unemployed worker and the unemployed worker's family and leads to a state of economic insecurity. Relief from problems of involuntary unemployment imposes a statewide burden of serious consequence to the people of the state of North Dakota which can best be met by unemployment insurance for the working person who becomes unemployed through no personal fault. The legislative assembly, therefore, declares that the public good and general welfare of the citizens of the state requires that for laboring people genuinely attached to the labor market there be a systematic and compulsory setting aside of financial reserves to be used as compensation for loss of wages during periods when they become unemployed through no fault of their own.
