The sharp est revival in employment has betti among skilled workers and rela tively young workers.” Declaring that under present in dustrial policy many older and un skilled persons would be condemned to permanent unemployment, he said: "It is scarcely necessary to point to the seriousness of this policy to the unemployed.
