I also serve on the Joint Economic Committee. and for the past year and a half I have gone to those meetings on the first Friday of each month where the unemployment figures are announced by the Department of Labor. We are now facing a situation where over 10 million men and women in this country who want work cannot find it. Just a few weeks ago we saw the Immigration and Naturalization Service raid a small factory out in California which employed 87 individuals. The next day there were more than 1.000 individuals who showed up to try to get those jobs. even though there had been no advertisement in the newspapers that those jobs were available. Those 1.000 workers heard about it on the evening television news.
