Abstract | Written and oral testimony presented in this document concerns legislative and policy considerations for achieving full employment. Although the Reagan Administration cites a low unemployment figure for the nation, there remain almost eight million persons out of work and more than a million "discouraged workers" who have given up trying to find work. Five million others work part-time only because they cannot find full-time jobs. For blacks, women, and the elderly the employment situation is worse. The country needs a comprehensive policy to put people back to work. Testimony and written statements were presented to the hearing, some in favor of new policies and some in support of the present measures that are in place to reduce unemployment. The bill under consideration is the Economic Bill of Rights Act. It calls for appropriate Executive action to secure the right of employment and to give special attention to neglected mandates of other employment bills. Much of the testimony offered partisan opinions on the state of the economy, on the way that labor issues have been handled in previous Democratic and Republican Administrations, and on legislation and policy already in force. Proponents of new policy want a more aggressive commitment to implementing full employment. (VM) |
