Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Security Yearbook for the Calendar Year 1941 The converse of the rise in employment is to be seen in the decline in payments for unemployment benefits and, in certain respects, in declines in public assistance and earnings under work pro grams. Within the unemployment insurance pro gram there were contradictory trends, since short ages of materials and lay-offs while plants were being converted to war production caused serious unemployment in certain industries and localities, foreshadowing the more extensive disemploy ment in the early part of 1942. Among the whole group of covered workers, however, there was a sharp drop in compensable unemployment and in benefit payments despite the fact that there had been some liberalization of State unemployment compensation laws and that, with increases in base-period earnings, there was, in general, an increase in the amount of benefits for which individual unemployed workers qualified. Under the programs for which need is a quali fying requirement, as distinguished from the in surance programs, there were likewise diverse trends. The sharp declines in general relief and in earnings under Federal work programs contrast with the continued slow rise in total payments to recipients of the special types of public assistance - the needy aged, needy blind, and dependent children. It is impossible to tell with precisionto what extent such changes reflect actual changes in economic conditions and to what extent they are governed by the availability of funds. It seems clear, however, that in the country as a whole increased opportunities for employment have substantially lessened the need for relief and work program employment. In some areas there apparently has been improvement in the economic situation of even the groups least able to benefit directly from the rising labor market - the aged, blind, and families receiving aid to dependent children - through betterment Of circumstances among relatives, friends, and others, and to some extent through employment of the recipients themselves.
