The Anatomy of Full Employment
Barnes, Leo | May 26, 1945 issue

add to cart   close window

Sixty million jobs has become a slogan in the U.S. which symbolizes new hope for a secure nation after the second world war, a fighting phrase to tally liberals everywhere against reactionary attempts to hold back the clock. When the anatomy of full employment is dissected industry by industry, trade by trade, the magnitude and the complexity of this particular problem become more evident, and more alarming. The author in the article makes a draft survey of the post-war economic map of the United States. It tells a story of past achievement and failure and suggests just how big is the job ahead if 60 million Americans are to have jobs when the war is over.
