Temporary jobs
When un-employment gets too high and is not being reduced by a growing economy, the government needs to borrow money and create temporary jobs.
One thing these jobs could do which provides a social value without adversely affecting the existing work structure is to perform basic maintenance on low income housing. Activities such as improving insulation, making minor repairs, painting the structure, replacing broken and worn structures, etc. would have low skill requirements and still be of social value.
Another idea for a temporary job is non-essential work such as entering data into a computer data base for historical material not already available for online access or doing recycling of material not normally recycled or some other useful but non-essential activity.
These jobs would be generated by business under contracts and funded by the government.
