Full employment does not mean literally no unemployment; that is to say, it does not mean that every man and woman in the country who is fit and free for work is employed productively every day of his or her working life ... Full employment means that unemployment is reduced to short intervals of standing by, with the certainty that very soon one will be wanted in one's old job again or will be wanted in a new job that is within one's powers.

William Beveridge

I define genuine full employment as a situation where there are at least as many job openings as there are persons seeking employment, probably calling for a rate of unemployment, as currently measured, of between 1 and 2 percent.

William Vickrey

We need to understand that femininity is not weakness. And our society, for some reason, equates the two.

Jessica Chastain

The current male-dominated model of success - which equates success with burnout, sleep deprivation, and driving yourself into the ground - isn't working for women, and it's not working for men, either.

Arianna Huffington

In my view, nothing would do more to reduce violence in American cities than genuine full employment - a job at a decent wage for every person who wants to work. Numerous studies have shown that violence increases with unemployment.

Martin Luther King III

The western mindset erroneously equates a political system of multi-party democracy with high-quality institutions... the two are not synonymous.

Dambisa Moyo

Now, everybody knows the basic erogenous zones. You got one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. ... OK, now most guys will hit one, two, three and then go to seven and set up camp. ... You want to hit 'em all and you wanna mix 'em up. You gotta keep 'em on their toes. ... You could start out with a little one. A two. A one, two, three. A three. A five. A four. A three, two. Two. A two, four, six. Two, four, six. Four. Two. Two. Four, seven! Five, seven! Six, seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! [holds up seven fingers]

I have a theory that as nice and sweet as you can be equates to how dangerous you can be.

Channing Tatum

If there is inequality, and that equates with colour, then I'm going to deal with it.

Forest Whitaker

Because the culture we breathe and work in rushes against rest. It equates our worth with production and wealth and fame. The more we work toward those goals, the more society assigns us worth.

Mary E. DeMuth

Praying for revival equates to blaming God for the condition of your local church.

Andy Stanley

The trouble begins with a design philosophy that equates 'more options' with 'greater freedom.'

Brian Eno

Soon equates to good, later to worse, Uagen Zlepe, scholar. Therefore, immediacy.

Iain Banks

The most staggering linguistic turnabout for me is the one that equates green economy with 'sustained economic growth.'

Tim Jackson

I think people imagine that your fame somehow sort of equates with how much you get paid.

Jennifer Saunders

The black unemployment rate has to be twice that of the white rate in the US. If the national unemployment rate were 6.8 percent, everyone would be freaking out. We ought to not take too much solace in the 6.8 percent, but ask ourselves what can we do to bring that down to white rates, which are below 4 percent now. Some of that has to do with education, but that's just part of the story. You find that those unemployment differentials persist across every education level. I think it means pushing back on discrimination and helping people who can't find work get into the job market.
