If you live in an 'at will employment' aka 'no fault fire' state you could very easily be fired because of no fault on your part.

If you live anywhere you can be fired through no fault of your own through downsizing company mergers and the like. My company is being bought out at the moment so I don't know if my job will exist in 3 months.

The only difference in countries with strong Labor laws is that it can't happen arbitrarily and a certain amount of runway is paid out.
