Much unemployment relief carried on during past year

UNEMPLOYMENT relief being carried on in the metropolitan area of New York, N. Y., by the Professional Engineers Committee on Unemployment, known locally as the P.E.C.U., is worthy of national attention as it affords a guide to similar work which has been and may be carried on in other sections of the country. A summary of this work for the year ending October 1, 1933, therefore is presented herewith, similar to that for the previous year given in ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING for November 1932, p. 809–13. At the end of the present report, a proposed plan for extending employment of engineers is given.
