Unemployment a study based on the Census of 1931 and supplementary data / by M.C. MacLean ... [et al.].: CS98-1931CM-11E-PDF

"The monograph on unemployment has endeavoured to meet three requirements: (1) To provide information on unemployment and to explain the problem. This is done particularly in the Introduction and Chapter II. (2) To reach worthwhile conclusions on unemployment. The nature of these conclusions is discussed at the end of each chapter while the conclusions themselves are collected in a general summary at the beginning of the monograph. (3) To develop a technique whereby the census data can be linked up with yearly or even monthly data collected from other sources. ... Part I is made up of the text of the monograph, throughout which are interspersed tabular statements numbered in Roman numerals. The final chapter provides supplementary textual and tabular material from the Census of 1936 corroborating our deductions from the data of 1931. Part II consists of the estimates of unemployment, basic tabular material and other related tables numbered in Arabic. Appendices 1-9 contain related material, largely mathematical, ordained for the use of the reader specially interested in the details of method and calculations but not essential to an understanding of the text. Appendix 10 reviews briefly writings on unemployment by contemporary economists, indicating points, of agreement and disagreement with our conclusions"--p. v. of Vol. XIII of the Seventh Census of Canada.
