Unemployment figures spark debate over job plan
Reports on the job plan continued from the first page with figures debated between 3.5 and 5.5 million unemployed. Secretary Davis cited 6,735,000 earlier estimates, while Mr. Robinson urged a 4,000,000 figure. Hoover moved to adopt the report noting “several millions” misstates the total. The plan calls for mayoral responsibility, emergency community committees, coordinated public employment agencies, and separate relief registries to repair the labor market and build housing.
