ABSTRACT
In Mr. Brown's record one reads: "Man feels that if he had teeth, he would look younger and have a better chance for a job." Most men lived considerable distances from the center of employment and every time they looked for a job, they had to spend at least 10 cents on carfare. Families on Relief frequently broke off social relations with friends and acquaintances, a step that handicapped them greatly, for the men failed to hear of job opportunities. If an unemployed man had the good luck to find a job opening, either through his own initiative or with the help of others, it did not follow that the job was his. When jobs finally opened up, there was a large force available. Employment Service would provide a check on the willingness of the unemployed man to accept a job. The State Employment Service also had calls for better jobs, but Relief clients seldom had a chance.
