1 Iq appraising the significance of
recent levels of unemployment it is
helpful to place them in the per
spective of a record running back
to the beginning of this century.
A striking feature of this long
term is the exceptionally high levels
61 unemployment during the 19S0.S.
The ; peak was 'reached ,in 1933,
when 23 per cent of the labor force
was unemployed. Starting in 1981,
unemployment remained in excess
of 14 percent of the civilian labor
force lor a lull lu years. Tms lev
el of unemployment has never been
reached in any' year either before
or since that decade. , 1
, iThe unemployment level has fluc
uated over a considerable range,
even if the exceptional decade of the
mil's Is left out of consideration.
Unemployment fell to less than 1
r' "cent of the civilian .labor force
1907, and rose as high as 12 per!
cent in 1921. During ihe years;
Bijnce World, War II, unemployment
has ' ranged between .a low of 2.4
per cent in 1953 and a, high of 6.41
per cent In 1949. "In 1954,. and; she
early months of 1968, it has been
about 5.0 per cent. ..
During-the twentieth century as
a ; whole, the unemployment level
has averaged 40 per cent of the ci
vilian labor force. -. This is a med
ian; that, is,' there were as many
years in which unemployment fell
below 4$ per cent as there were
yean in-which It rose above that
figure. ,.. If the 1930's are omitted
from the computation, unemploy
ment averaged 8.7 per cent during
the remaining years of this cen
tury, i '
1 The unemployment record since
the end of World War II resembles,
iq its general character, the years
prior to 1929, rather than the ca
tastrophic years of the 1930's. Be
tween 1800 and 1929 unemployment
averaged 8.9 per cent of the civilian
labor force. Between 1946 and
1964 it Averaged 3.6 per cent Al
though unemployment rose sharply
between . 1963 and 1954, the 1954
level was exceeded in 7 of the pre-
depression years, and in one of the
poet World War II years. ,
