| Synopsis: |
This political history of US manpower training and employment policy from the 1946 Employment Act to the current Job Training Partnership Act attempts to analyze the failure of the US to adopt viable employment policies. Between these two landmarks of legislation lie the War on Poverty, attempts to create public service employment (PSE), the abortive Humphrey-Hawkins Act and the beleaguered Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). Mucciaroni aims to trace the impact of economic ideas and opinions on federal employment policy. Efforts at reform, he believes, are frustrated by a culturally entrenched belief in economic liberty that restricts the role of government and holds workers themselves accountable for success or failure. |
