This fourth survey shows that slack work has diminished greatly as the principle factor in throw ing people out of work while sick ness and injury have Increased to a great extent as causes of un employment. Of those idle this fall, 30.8 percent blamed their un employment upon a slackening up in industry and business in general while 76.5 percent attributed their idleness to this cause in 1933 when the second of these studies was made. Today, sickness and acci dents account for 22 percent of the Under the supervision of Theo dore Diers, head of university broadcasting, the University Sing ers have made a recording using the equipment of the radio studio.

For programs.

Dr. Swayzee finds encourage ment in the fact that full-time employment is on the increase in Lincoln. Of the 4,173 persons in terviewed, 78.5 percent were reg ularly employed though only 61.3 percent were holding down steady jobs in 1932. At the present time there are only 14.3 percent of those interviewed who are totally unemployed yet in 1932 there were 26.5 percent without employment of any kind. These surveys will prove inval uable in scientifically studying trends of employment and are one of the first of their kind in the country.
