Wisconsin Unemployment Compensation

Unemployment is generally admitted to be one of the greatest problems of labor as well as of industrial management. Labor fears unemployment more than industrial accidents or sickness because it affects, during certain times, so large a proportion of the labor class and the worker has no power to defend himself nor curtail the period of unemployment by any precaution he may exercise or anything that he may do. Industrial management wants to avoid periods of unemployment because no business can be conducted profitably unless its machinery and equipment can be in constant use and operation. It is very natural, therefore, that the problem of unemployment has been given much attention and consideration by labor organizations, by industrial management, and by law-making bodies.
