The Unemployment Census
The Census of Unemployment to be
taken in April, 1880, is the fifth such
canvass made by the Federal Bureau
of the Census. Such census was
taken in 1880, 1890, 1900, and 1910.
The results were not published in 1880
nor in 1910, and no canvass of unem-
ployment was made in 1920. AS in
all census work, the information given
by individuals regarding their own
unemployment is entirely confidential.
The enumerators have taken oath not
to disclose any information con-
tanned in the schedules, lists, or state
ments obtained for, or prepared by
the Bureau of the Census, to any per-
son or persons, except those desig-
mated by the Director" All persons,
therefore, in answering questions re-
garding their unemployment may do
so with full confidence that their
identity will not be disclosed, nor will
the information given be used for any
other purpose than to compile the sta
tistics of unemployment in the United
States.
The prime purpose of Congress in
directing the Bureau of the Census
to take a Census of Unemployment
was to obtain the facts regarding the
pressing problem. No effective plans
for the relief and prevention of I'M
employment can be made until we
have specific information regarding
its extene, the industries seriously af-
fected, the periods of time during
which employees in these industries
are idle, with the causes in each
case. Such information is almost en-
tirely lacking. President Harding's
Conference on Unemployment, in
1921, assembled the men best in
formed on this problem. They can
vassed all available sources of infor-
nation, but were compelled to report
that the number unemployed might be
as few as three and one-half million,
and might be as many as five and one
half million. While our ignorance of
the extent of unemployment is so
