Fighting Unemployment: III. Stabilization

Mussey, Henry Raymond | December 24, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article throws light on ways to abolish unemployment. An unemployment program must lead up to stabilization as its ultimate goal, and must include every possible immediate step towards that goal. Labor exchanges and insurance should be regarded as means to the steady and productive functioning of industry, and should be handled with that end in view. Unemployment may be classified into: seasonal, casual, technological and cyclical. Furthermore, the individual concern, under favorable conditions, even with the existing industrial organization can accomplish vastly more than has commonly been supposed in doing away with unemployment, particularly of the seasonal, casual, and technological type.
