According to the question, the corporation will eventually pay for more including the taxes and insurance payments for those layed-off employees, hence the reasoning can be shown as following:

corporation Lay-off more employees -> corporation will pay more

Without any change on this reasoning, then we seek for what condition would strengthen the conclusion. Here is the one: the workers who are unemployment have been unable to fine new jobs, hence the corporation needs to pay those people until they got a new job.

Hope helps~
