City unemployment survey
completed by labor professor
The survey of Lincoln unem
ployment and its causes which
was begun last year by Dr. Cleon
O. Swayzee, associate professor of
personnel and labor relations, and
60 students in his classes in cur
rent labor problems has been com
pleted. The most striking conclu
sion drawn from the report is that
the causes of unemployment in
and around Lincoln have changed
greatly since the first study was
made of the problem in 1932.
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

The two-sided record which they

unemployed men .compared with
8.3 percent in 1933.
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. The complete tabulation
of the information gathered will
be published by the college of
business administration as "Ne
braska Studies in Business."
