Regularizing employment rests on industry says GE chief
Gerard Swope president of General Electric told the International Chamber of Commerce that responsibility for regularizing employment lies with industry. He argued more complete regularization reduces unemployment insurance needs and that employee cooperation is essential. Meyer of Luxemburg contrasted nominal and real wages and warned European systems against high nominal pay without rising real purchasing power. Sempell defended mass production and argued it reduces unemployment if production methods modernize, while Swope urged industry to study plans per trade and company to avoid seasonal variations and soften hardships.
