Sheldon Liebman, winner of the 1975 Theodore Roosevelt Public Speaking Contest, looks at how Theodore Roosevelt addressed the issue of unemployment in a 1915 speech. He argues that some of the approaches taken to tackle this problem, such as unemployment offices, were first proposed by Roosevelt. Liebman quotes Roosevelt’s 1915 speech in his own address.
