EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in American history - the Unemployment Census of 1937. In the image, we see American Vice President John Nance Garner, wearing his signature hat and glasses, engaged in an important task. With great anticipation, he is selecting at random a postal area to be sampled for this crucial census. Accompanying him is the Unemployment Census Director John D. Biggers, who stands by Garner's side as they oversee this process. The date etched on the photograph reads 19 November 1937, reminding us of the early days when such censuses were conducted manually. The scene takes place inside an office in Washington DC - a room filled with determination and purpose. Behind them hangs a large glass panel displaying numbers that symbolize both hope and uncertainty for those affected by unemployment during that era. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how governments have strived to understand and address societal challenges throughout history. It also highlights the significance of accurate data collection in shaping policies aimed at combating unemployment. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, it prompts us to reflect on our progress since then while recognizing that there is still much work to be done towards achieving economic stability for all citizens.
