Unemployment in Berlin

WHILE there is unusual prosperity in the United States, there is an unusual business depression in Germany, in consequence of which the number of unemployed persons is very large. In Berlin, twelve thousand workmen who engaged in a house-to-house canvass, found that 76,029 persons are out of employment in that city, and that 52,501 others are only partially employed. This makes no account of a very large number of men who work by the job, and whose earnings have been greatly reduced by the hard times.
