By GUS W. DYER Professor of Economics and Sociology, Vanderbilt University It is claimed by the administration ; that six million have gone back to work. Millions have always gone back to work after the passing of the aeute stages of serious depres- sions. But with the increase of business activ- iy in the case of our present depression, the extreme con- ditions with reference to un- employment continue. This is a new and abnormal! co n- dition ip our experience with ten depressions. it is very strong proof that we have not really reached a normal state of business as in all past depressions. We have changed from our abnormal state to an- other condition that is more abnor- mal than a depression. This is the explanation of the acute and wide- spread uncertainty that is the one great handicap to a return of busi- ness to normal. In the last report on employment, 3,297,000 persons were engaged on governinent work. The combined government and relief load at the mately 5,117,000 families and single persons, involving more than 20,000.- 000 individuals looking to the gov- ernment for support”—a figure not far from the peak depression load! It is stupid to hold manufacturing industries responsible for thi: con- dition. In 1929, 8.838.743 workers were employed by the factories of this country. This was the highest point ever reached in employment in our manufacturing industries Em- ployment in the factories tccay is, perhaps, within two million of this highest peak. But, it is estimated d Your Affairs that eleven million workers are un- employed. This is over two million more than were employed i all the factories in 1929. Only about one worker vut of six is employed in a factory. The numbers at work in some of the important fields of activity in 1930 were as follows: Farm tenants and farm bands ......++ + 5,397,337 ‘Transportation .... + 3,843,147 Domestic and personal serv- Professional service . , Clerical occupation (typists, bookkeepers, etc.) . Factories ........+- . More people were employed in do- | mestic and personal service and in- | dustrial work than were employed by all the manufacturing industries in the whole country. The chief causes of the serious, dan- gerous, abnormal problem of unem- ployment, under present conditions, may be traced first to the govern- ment’s agricultural policy. There were 5,397,337 farm tenants and farm wage earners in 1930. The radical curtailment of agricultéral <produc+ tion, put a large portion ot these workers on the unemployment rolls. It also caused large numbers to lose their jobs in transportation, ware- houses, packing ' ‘hoyses.:' storage houses, and factories. The,poliey of assuming that it is the duty the government to take care of everybody out of work ¢ millions’ to’ go on relief and stay on relief The uncertainty created by the govern- ment with reference to future invest- ments, has discouraged great con- structive enterprises from projecting big investments in the future. Under normal conditions business of this nature gives employment to a very large group of workers. The government itself, it is believed. and .ot industry, chiefly respon- sible—and it would seem, has created a far nore serious problem than the problem that it claims to have solved. | a ae 43 i i AG rast Bi B 2 f te — Pemeres SSt = Sie Maw Dyemg 2 Speratys Cmeme mer Beeeg PROPHETSTOW: tist W.
