Famous quotes containing the word unemployment:
“Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.”
—Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)
“... of all the aspects of social misery nothing is so heartbreaking as unemployment ...”
—Jane Addams (18601935)
“When a great many people are unable to find work, unemployment results.”
—Calvin Coolidge (18721933)
