SUBCHAPTER IV. SEASONAL UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY § 2621. Congressional findings and declaration of

purpose.

(a) The Congress finds that seasonal unemployment represents a substantial portion of the unemployment in the construction industry, and a significant portion of all unemployment, that seasonal unemployment results in economic hardship for construction employees, employers, and for the consumers of construction services; that such unemployment constitutes unnecessary and wasteful misuse of the Nation's manpower resources; that stabilization of construction operations may be expected to have a correspondingly stabilizing effect on construction employment and costs; and that it is highly desirable from the standpoint of the economy as a whole, and manpower policy in particular that positive and expeditious action be taken by public authorities and private groups to regularize construction employment.

(b) It is therefore the purpose of this subchapter to provide for the conduct of a study of seasonality in the construction industry, with special attention to its implications for national manpower policy.
