Excerpt from Selected Articles on Unemployment The second edition of Unemployment includes, in addition to the material contained in volume 1, about fifty pages of new re prints covering the years 1915 to date. Selections have been made on the broadest and most representative lines of thought so far as material permitted. In addition the bibliography has been revised, and over two hundred references, selected from recent material and have been included, many of them with an notations. The question oi a national public employment bureau is still much to the front in current considerations of the subject of Un employment. In the Federal Employment Service, established on a large scale during the late war and since reduced but still exist ing, we already have its limited realization. The debater will wish to consider whether the greatly curtailed appropriations of Congress since the close of the war are a desirable policy, or whether the service should be given full opportunity of growth and the realization of its objects. The brief has been altered somewhat to meet this new view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Job search is and always has been an integral part of people's working lives. Whether one is brand new to the labor market or considered a mature, experienced worker, job seekers are regularly met with new challenges in a variety of organizational settings. Edited by Ute-Christine Klehe and Edwin A.J. van Hooft, The Oxford Handbook of Job Loss and Job Search provides readers with one of the first comprehensive overviews of the latest research and empirical knowledge in the areas of job loss and job search. Multidisciplinary in nature, Klehe, van Hooft, and their contributing authors offer fascinating insight into the diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives from which job loss and job search have been studied, such as psychology, sociology, labor studies, and economics. Discussing the antecedents and consequences of job loss, as well as outside circumstances that may necessitate a more rigorous job hunt, this Handbook presents in-depth and up-to-date knowledge on the methods and processes of this important time in one's life. Further, it examines the unique circumstances faced by different populations during their job search, such as those working job-to-job, the unemployed, mature job seekers, international job seekers, and temporary employed workers. Job loss and unemployment are among the worst stressors individuals can encounter during their lifetimes. As a result, this Handbook concludes with a discussion of the various types of interventions developed to aid the unemployed. Further, it offers readers important insights and identifies best practices for both scholars and practitioners working in the areas of job loss, unemployment, career transitions, outplacement, and job search.
