Can you help settle an argument, which turns around whether employers
care much about employess who die in service.  My opponent claims

"In 1998 1000 employers in Europe were asked a series of questions [50
in total] with the last being about an employee who passed away within
1 year and in 97% of cases the final answer was 'who' I have no reason
to write lies as Psychological Analysis is my life"

"The report was titled 'The Great Work & State Debate',or something
close along those lines.It has been 4-5 years since i read this
paper,so it may not be that title word for word,but your lucky i even
remember a similarity after this much time. I am unsure if it was ever
made into a book,and if so the title may have slightly altered,but it
was a great paper and an interesting read"

The question:
- can you find any reference to this 'report' : or is my opponent
apparently making it up?
- can you find any other alternative analysis about whether employers
in any sense grieve when they lose employees... or typicaly don't they
care?  Any research on this would be useful.
