Full Employment Policy Still Bars Jobs For All
Washington observers note that the Nixon administration’s goal of full employment by mid-1972 may still leave 3.3 million people jobless at a 4 percent unemployment rate. Advisers see 4.5 percent or slightly more as a possible mid-1972 target, while 6 percent is expected before the downturn reverses. The term traces to 1930s New Deal aims and wartime labor shortages, with frictional unemployment once thought to total about 2 to 2.5 percent of the labor force.
