Statistical Abstract of the United States
7. SOCIAL SECURITY [Data in this section relate to continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii, except as noted] GENERA! NOTE Old-age and survivors insurance.—Federal old-age and survivors insurance, administered by the Social Security Board under the Social Security Act as amended in August 1939, covers employment in industry and commerce. Specified employments are excepted, notably agricultural labor, domestic service in private homes, services for government and for certain types of nonprofit organizations, services for railroads and certain of their subsidiaries and affiliates, and self-employment. In January 1940, monthly benefits became payable to qualified workers at age 65 and also to certain dependents of beneficiaries and certain survivors of insured workers. Benefits are based on the legally defined average wage of the insured and are paid from the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund, to which is appropriated annually an amount equal to the total taxes paid by employers and employees under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act. Employment security.—The Federal-State unemployment compensation program provides for pay- ments to insured industrial and commercial workers who are able to work but unable to find jobs. Contribu- tions, based on wages, are paid by employers, and in some States also by employees, to provide funds to be used solely for the payment of benefits, which are based on prior employment and wages. Under the Social Security Act the Social Security Board has two statutory responsibilities in -

American Dream Deferred: Black Federal Workers in Washington, Dc, 1941-1981
AMERICAN DREAM DEFERRED: BLACK FEDERAL WORKERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C., 1941-1981 A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Frederick W. Gooding, Jr., J.D. Washington, DC June 20, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Frederick W. Gooding, Jr. All Rights Reserved ii AMERICAN DREAM DEFERRED: BLACK FEDERAL WORKERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C., 1941-1981 Frederick W. Gooding, Jr., J.D. Thesis Advisor: Michael Kazin, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This study explores the history of black workers in Washington, D.C.’s federal sector from World War II (WWII) to the early 1980s. Many blacks viewed government employment as a welcome alternative to the limited job prospects and career trajectories available in the hostile and discriminatory private sector. As their numbers in the public sector in Washington increased, African-Americans gained a measure of economic security, elevated their social standing, and increased their political participation, primarily through public sector unions and such civil rights groups as the National Urban League (NUL) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). However, the growth of racial liberalism in the post-war era did not do away with discrimination in federal employment. In contrast to their white colleagues, black federal workers consistently faced lower wages and slower promotion rates, despite presidential commissions and laws intended to eliminate racial inequities in the workplace. Gradually, black workers improved their status through collective and individual activism, within a context of official support for their rights. -

Publication of this report, which was Prepared during t,l~eperiod of liquidation of the program, has been postponed until now because of tlie war. The WPA prograni originated under a condition of mass r~nenlploymentand nlisery of gigantic proportions. During its operatiou it provided enlploylnent at one time or another for a total of at)ol~t8,500,000 different individuals. This means that during the 8 years in wllich tl~eprogram mas ill operation nearly one-fourth of all fanlilies in the United States were dependent on WPA wages for their support. Peak WPA employment was reached in the fiscal year 1939 when it averaged well over 3,000,000 persons; it declined to an average of 2,000,000 ill fiscal 1940, to 1,709,000 in 1941, and, as war production got well under way, to 271,000 in fiscal 1943, the last year of operation of t211c program. This report has been prepared with a view to making the record of WPA experience available to Goverrili~entofficials and other interested individuals, and to presenting for future guidance the problems encountered during the existence of the program and the manner in which they were solved. -
