(C) What can be done about mass unemployment? All the wise heads agree: there are no quick or easy answers. There is work to be done, but workers aren‘t ready to do it — they‘re in the wrong places, or they have the wrong skills. Our problems are ―structural,‖ and will take many years to solve. But don‘t bother asking for evidence that justifies this bleak view. There isn‘t any. On the contrary, all the facts suggest that high unemployment in America is the result of inadequate demand — full stop. Saying that there are no easy answers sounds wise, but it‘s actually foolish: our unemployment crisis could be cured very quickly if we had the intellectual clarity and political will to act. In other words, structural unemployment is a fake problem, which mainly serves as an excuse for not pursuing real solutions. The fact is that Job openings have plunged in every major sector, while the number of workers forced into parttime employment in almost all industries has soared. Unemployment has surged in every major occupational category. Only three states, with a bined population not much larger than that of Brooklyn, have unemployment rates below 5 percent. So all the evidence contradicts the claim that we‘re mainly suffering from structural unemployment. Why, then, has this claim bee so popular? Part of the answer is that this is what always happens during periods of high unemployment — in part because pundits and analysts believe that declaring the problem deeply rooted, with no easy answers, makes them sound serious. I‘ve been looking at what selfproclaimed experts were saying about unemployment during the Great Depression。 we‘re suffering from a lack of policy resolve. As I said, structural unemployment isn‘t a real problem, it‘s an excuse — a reason not to act on America‘s problems at a time when action is desperately needed. 63.
