R'n ins Secretary reports
Rebekah' Party
pretations of the Labor Depart-
ment's most recent labor force
statistics. Liberal candidates
point out that there were 541;-
000 persons unemployed et mid-
January, almost no improve-
ment over the figure of 545,000,
one year earlier. , But Conserv-
ative candidates emphasize that
the total of Canadians with jobs
was 5,956,000 at mid-January,
a considerable gain over the
total of 5,864,000 a year before,
and that in the period the in-
crease in employment w03
greater than the increase in
the labor force.
- An impartial view would
have to be that there is some
truth on each side. Unemploy-
ment is serious, but less so
than it would have been if in
the past year the number of
new job openings had lagged
behind the growth of the labor
force. And a pertinent point
avoided by all parties is the
recognized fact that the official
unemployment statistics include
_some who are not unemployed
in the' sense that they are need-
fully and earnestly looking for
work. A calculating machine
cannot tell the difference be-
tween the person who needs
work and the person who is in
the process of changing jobs or
who is without work for some
other voluntary and temporary
reason. Nor can the machine
identify the individual who
chooses to get along for a spell
on unemployment insurance
benefits, perhaps plus family
allowance payments and odd -
job earnings.
In part, it is these recognized
shortcomings of the statistical
service's that bring anibiguity
into the meaning of the phrase
"full eanPloyment"-a phrase
intrOduced, or at, least popular
ins's by Lord Beveridge, archi.
tect of Britain's welfare state.
Even more Important., in this
connection is the erroneous no-
tion that this phrase literally
means na unemploSrment at all.
The fact is that lord Beve-.
ridge assumed that an Unem-
ployment rate of three per 'cent
of the labor "force would cons
stitute full employment." His
Phrase did not mean, as some
Candidates. for office in the cur-
rent election would have us
believ.e, that a nation would be
in a state of economic collapse
kif the unemployment rate ,went
over the three per cent figure.
Perhaps the first thing, that
needs to be established here is
that no party is going to go into
office and reduce the unemploy-
ment rate to absolute zero.
That is not pessimism; that is
realism.
