Excerpt from Report of the Mayor's Committee on Unemployment: Work Accomplished; A Program for Dealing With Unemployment in New York; Constructive Proposals for an Immediate Program; Appendices There is a considerable amount of unemployment which is recurrent and still seems an inevitable part of industrial organization. This may be in some degree at least prevented by better organization. At all events, effort to prevent it is distinctly desirable. Unemployment insurance adopted in various forms in England and on the Continent has often been urged as a means of safeguarding workers against recurring unemployment. Greater care in selecting and dismissing employees, better training for prospective wage earners, are all measures which may effect an improvement in the phases of the unemployment problem that are not directly caused by a stoppage of industry and business let down.

Excerpt from Report of Governor Smith's Reconstruction Commission on a Permanent Unemployment Program: June 17, 1919 Herewith the Reconstruction Commission begs to call to your attention the desirability of framing, as a part of the States reconstruction program, a permanent program for dealing with the problem of unemployment in the State. It is unnecessary for your Commission to point out that unemployment is a chronic feature in the industrial life of the State. This was clearly pointed out by the Wainwright Commission., which was appointed to inquire into the question of employers liability and other matters, one of which was unemployment. In the report submitted by it to the Legislature of the State that Commission declared: "We find in the industrial centers of this State, at all times of the year, in good times as well as in bad, wage-earners who cannot secure employment." - Report to the Legislature of the State of New York - Employment and lack of farm, labor. - Page 2. Hitherto the problem of unemployment, despite the insistence of all investigators of the subject upon its continuous and normal character, has been prone to be regarded by our government as an occasional emergency requiring, if anything, only emergency measures. But the time has come for the State to consider what it may do in a permanent way to ameliorate if not to prevent this permanent, chronic ill of the industrial system. The chronic unemployment which exists in the State, independent of business conditions, is attributable in the main to two factors (1) the physical impossibility, in the present industrial organization, of connecting worker and job without loss of time in the interim, and (2) the seasonal fluctuations in the demand for labor in the several industries.
