Johnson weighs jobs dilemma as 75 million goal looms
Washington AP reports President Johnson faces a long standing wartime style problem: how to create and maintain jobs as the nation’s labor pool grows. He cites 79 million employed and 35 million unemployed, proposing a goal to add 5 million jobs without a set deadline while noting historical swings in unemployment and the impact of automation and peacetime transitions. He recalls past administrations and the Employment Act of 1946 guiding government duties to foster favorable conditions for private employment.
