Show JOBS FOR THE JOBLESS there are many lessons which may be drawn from the just com plated census of unemployment if the lessons are heeded and future plans made accordingly then the country will profit if they arent then the nation will just have to continue muddling along and let nature take its course for instance the census was made november 1620 16 20 an awful lot of water has gone over the dam since then thousands were carried on payrolls at a loss right through christmas just because employers want to ruin their holiday season even the 7 enumerated by the census were said to represent only 72 per cent of those jobless so we add a guesstimate to the cold figure and come up with unemployed it should be perfectly clear that congress is pretty much legislating in the dark despite the census it ought to have some machinery cliine ry to give it accurate and up to date figures regularly especially c when things are not on an even keel one of the biggest lessons however was in the figures showing that out of the 1 who were jobless only were doing NYA or other federal emergency relief work despite the outpouring of literally billions of dollars by state and national governments ern ments that proves that the answer the appropriation of additional billions but the expansion of job opportunities in private employment in short you cant put even the present jobless on federal or state payrolls the answer is to stimulate and build up the confidence of private enterprise so that it may supply the necessary jobs |
