    data("Employment")

    ## Employment Status
    mosaic(Employment,

           main = "Layoff*EmployLength + EmployStatus")

    mosaic(Employment,
           expected = ~ LayoffCause * EmploymentLength + LayoffCause * EmploymentStatus,
           main = "Layoff*EmployLength + Layoff*EmployStatus")

    ## Stratified view

    grid.newpage()
    pushViewport(viewport(layout = grid.layout(ncol = 2)))
    pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.col = 1))

    ## Closure
    mosaic(Employment[,,1], main = "Layoff: Closure", newpage = FALSE)

    popViewport(1)
    pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.col = 2))
