More than 37 million people in jobs are vulnerable to being laid off in the short term, according to the US Private Sector Job Quality Index, Cornell University Law School's project.

These shock estimates mean around a quarter of the current working population will find themselves out of work in the near future.

Low-paid, hourly workers are expected to be hardest hit, meaning it is those who can least afford to lose their jobs who are the biggest risk, the research finds.
