The work examines the public personnel agency under funding reductions, increased applicant pressure, and rising issues of layoffs, reinstatement, and demotion. It evaluates how examination administration changed amid widespread unemployment, how procedures for layoff and transfer were modified, and how salaries and wages were adjusted.

existing ad-ministrative methods and objectiveswhich new social conditions appear todictate.Administrative policies neces-sarily change slowly within the confinesof law and custom and it is not sug-gested that sound practices should beabandoned or modified with every fuc-tuation in economic trends.Since,how-ever,there appear no substantialreasons for believing that present condi-tions will speedily improve,but thatgovernment must face,for some yearsat least,a situation in which unemploy-ment,social distress,lowered standardsand demands for public economy willchallenge increasing
