Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unemployment The time is past when the problem of unemployment could be disposed of either by ignoring it, as was the practice until recent years in America, or by attributing it to mere laziness and inefficiency. We are beginning to recognize that unemployment is not so much due to individual causes and to the shiftlessness of won't-works, as social and inherent in our present method Of industrial organization. During the winter of 1914-1915 the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, at the request of the committee on unem ployment appointed by the mayor of New York, estimated after a careful canvass of its industrial policy-holders that persons were unemployed in New York City. In the first two weeks of February a careful canvass was made by agents Of the federal Bureau Of Labor Statistics, on the basis of which it was estimated that were still unemployed at that time. The dis puted estimate of unemployed in that city alone, made during the previous winter by the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, seems, therefore, not to have been exaggerated. At the same time relief agencies in many other cities were swamped. Municipal lodging houses were turning away many genuine seekers after work - to sleep on bare boards at the docks, in warehouses, even in morgues. The United States Census for 1900 showed that working people, or nearly 25 per cent of all engaged in gainful occupations, had been unemployed some time during the year. Of these lost from one to three months' work each; lost from: four to six months each; lost from seven to twelve months each. Similar data were collected by the government in 1910, but they are still unpublished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... agencies do not operate continuously in some.cases, and in many cases are merely a means of securing strike-breakers. As a class these agencies are limited in their activities to one community. Consequently they have failed to set up a central agency in which the entire labor market can find expression, but they have added to the series of distinct and non-co-operating agencies; they do not secure complete and continuous information in regard either to the demand for labor or the supply of labor in general or in any particular occupation or trade, or in any one community, to say nothing of wider territory. These various kinds of non-public employment agencies, therefore, have failed to organize the labor market in accordance with the ideal posited by the students of unemployment. They have set up distinct centers, for particular classes of employers or employes, with local, occupational, racial and other limitations, operating on a small scale, not at all commensurate with modern large-scale production. Between these centers there is little co-operation, and there seems to be no possibility of securing such co-operation, because of the various and conflicting purposes and ideals of those in control; consequently no one of these types of agencies can serve as a center into which the others can pour their surplus demands or supplies. None of these agencies is attempting to deal with the unemployment situation as a whole; all are interested in the unemployed individual. But instead of setting up a central agency, they are often in fierce competition which would make combined action impossible. The union agencies increase the unemployment of the persons not members; the agencies of employers' associations increase the unemployment of those...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Articles on Unemployment The second edition of Unemployment includes, in addition to the material contained in volume 1, about fifty pages of new re prints covering the years 1915 to date.

In addition the bibliography has been revised, and over two hundred references, selected from recent material and have been included, many of them with an notations. The question oi a national public employment bureau is still much to the front in current considerations of the subject of Un employment. In the Federal Employment Service, established on a large scale during the late war and since reduced but still exist ing, we already have its limited realization. The debater will wish to consider whether the greatly curtailed appropriations of Congress since the close of the war are a desirable policy, or whether the service should be given full opportunity of growth and the realization of its objects. The brief has been altered somewhat to meet this new view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Unemployment written by William H. Beveridge and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unemployment: A Problem of Industry This volume contains a course of lectures delivered in Oxford, during Michaelmas term of the year now ending, for the Delegates of the Common University Fund. Its object is to combine a record of the principal facts of unemployment with a continuous argument as to the causes of unemployment. It includes a good deal of matter from published sources to which in the lectures I merely gave references, and appendices, the most important of which deal with "Public Labour Exchanges in Germany" (reprinted from the Economic Journal for March, 1908) and "Methods of Seeking Employment in Great Britain." I am only too conscious that the treatment given in the following pages to one of the most perplexing and urgent of industrial problems is in many points defective; that, not once but many times, I have been compelled to leave the record of facts or their analysis incomplete, to give probabilities in place of searching for certainties, to turn back unsatisfied from whole fields of inquiry as fascinating as they are important. Among these last is to be 1 mentioned particularly the problem of the underlying causes of cyclical fluctuation in trade and employment. In so far as the main obstacle to further inquiry into these causes has, in my case, been immersion in actual dealing with distress as member of the Central (Unemployed) Body for London during the past three years, I can only hope that the following discussion may prove to have gained on the side of practical experience something to set against what it has lost on the side of theory. After all, whatever may be the underlying causes of cyclical fluctuation, the fact of cyclical fluctuation has to be reckoned with by governments and individuals for many years to come. No analysis of its causes can hope within the range of practical politics, if indeed ever, to dispense with the need for providing against its results.

He is teaching two extra classes again, and lecturing to a group of clerks in a brokerage firm on Wall Street. Although he is still in debt, his own budget is better than balanced. He said recently, When is this country going to stop going into debt? How are we going to pay the bill? Something ought to be done about it. The professor's case is an interesting one, not for itself alone, but for the fact that it typifies a shift in viewpoint that was shared by large numbers of the American people during the years 1930 - 1937.

This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Program for the Prevention of Unemployment in America The time is past when the problem of unemployment could be disposed of either by ignoring it, as was the practice until recent years in America, or by attributing it to mere laziness and inefficiency. We are beginning to recognize that the causes of unemployment are not so much individual and due to the shiftlessness of "won't-works" as social and inherent in our present method of industrial organization. It is important that those who are aiming at the prevention of unemployment in America should never forget that it is a problem continually with us, in good seasons as well as in bad seasons. Occasional crises, with their sympathetic demands for temporary relief, should not blind us to the need for a constructive program. In the meantime the community, as a result of its past neglect to adopt some energetic constructive policy on unemployment, is being constantly confronted with an army of idle workers whose distress, which becomes conspicuous with the approach of bitter weather, demands, and, according to the analysis here presented, deserves adequate relief. Much unemployment is due to irregularity of industrial operations over which the workers have no control. Periodic abnormal excess of labor supply over labor demand is caused by the fluctuations of industry, which in its present disorganized form makes necessary constant reserves waiting to answer calls when they come. Hundreds of thousands more of workers are needed in good years than in bad years, and in each industry many more are needed in the busy season than in the slack season. Furthermore, in almost every business, special calls arise for more workers to be taken on for a few weeks, a few days or even a few hours. The reserves necessary to meet these cyclical, seasonal or casual demands should be reduced to a minimum. Industry must be regularised. Much unemployment, also, is caused by the lack of efficient means of transferring workers smoothly and rapidly from job to job. Public employment exchanges must be established.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of the Unemployed, an Enquiry and an Economic Policy It is hoped that this restatement of the position, by its specific application to the concrete problem of the unem ployed and by the central importance assigned to the idea of Under-consumption, may avoid some of the mis understanding to which earlier statements were liable. By its explanation of Unemployment as a natural and necessary result of a mal-distribution of consuming-power, contained in economic rent and superfluous elements of profit, the argument claims a distinct place in the theory of social progress.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unemployed: A National Question Little practical progress has been made in recent years in our country in solving the problem of the Unemployed. When the sufferings of the poor become acute committees are formed, money is subscribed and distributed, and relief work is provided. But as soon as the crisis is past the distress and danger are forgotten, and nothing is done to- probe the sources of the disease and to provide a permanent and effective remedy. Yet the problem is one upon the solution of which the permanence of our existing social order depends. If the number of the unemployed and unemployable should increase beyond a certain limit, if hunger, cold and nakedness should overwhelm our temporary expedients for their relief, society might be in imminent danger, and might deplore too late its blindness and self-complacency. The distinction between the unemployed and the unemployable, which is very real from an economic point of view, is unstable and transient in the individual.

Their experiences with some agencies, and through answering advertisements for help, indicated that abuses were common, and that there was a real need for further knowledge. In the summer of 1902, this investigation was planned as a special piece of research work in connection with the New York Summer School Of Philanthropy, but was extended to the cities of Boston, Philav1.
