The Paradox of Unemployment in the Industrial Era
The piece argues unemployment figures mislead by counting those unable to work as unemployed. It cites a 1933 peak and a Cleveland relief study: 21,321 on relief, 15,526 deemed totally unemployable, only 203 able to work but not employed. It concludes relief now funds the unable and hints at a shrinking labor reserve with potential shortages ahead.
