Unemployment & The Constitution

The original U.S. Constitution does not explicitly mention "unemployment" or any word synonymous to the term. However, it does address issues that are connected to the idea of unemployment and its causes. The Constitution grants Congress many powers allowing regulation that impacts the economy, which is reflected by unemployment. For example, during the Great Depression, numerous Acts were created by FDR to help the economy. However, according to Cornell Law School's Website, there were Acts initiated during the Depression directly addressing unemployment, including the Unemployment Relief Act, the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, and the Doughton Unemployment Compensation Act. Another one mentioned is the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act of 1991, which dealt with job searching assistance and guaranteed student loans, among other provisions. I found a video with an "interesting" approach to dealing with unemployment.
