I remember a friend was working in the government department in charge of employment in the late 1970's early '80s and he was told from on high that they would be abandoning any 'full employment' goals. Being only a middle ranking worker drone in the public service department at the time he couldn't understand it. Capitalism loves a nice big pool of unemployed to keep pressure on wages low. The very last thing a government for capitalists want is full employment. And the fact is that there simply are not enough jobs to go around for every one that wants one. We need to re think our whole attitude and relationship to work, labour, income and leisure.
