Study Questions
In his CMA address, Walter
Gordon suggested any study of
unemployment should deal with
such questions as:

© The role of unemployment
insurance protection in any
comprehensive scheme of
government work projects.

e Abuses in unemployment in-
surance and how to protect
them.

© Fixing of responsibility for
retraining and re-establishing
workers displaced by automa-
tion or obsolescence of com-
panies or industries.

© Examination of methods for
reviving distressed areas.
