Sec. 1. As a guide to the interpretation and application
of this article, the public policy of this state is declared to be as follows:
Economic insecurity due to unemployment is declared hereby to be a
serious menace to the health, morale, and welfare of the people of this
state and to the maintenance of public order within this state.
Protection against this great hazard of our economic life can be
provided in some measure by the required and systematic accumulation
of funds during periods of employment to provide benefits to the
unemployed during periods of unemployment and by encouragement
of desirable stable employment. The enactment of this article to
provide for payment of benefits to persons unemployed through no
fault of their own, to encourage stabilization in employment, and to
provide for integrated employment and training services in support of
state economic development programs, and to provide maximum job
training and employment opportunities for the unemployed,
underemployed, the economically disadvantaged, dislocated workers,
and others with substantial barriers to employment, is, therefore,
essential to public welfare; and the same is declared to be a proper
exercise of the police powers of the state. To further this public policy,
the state, through its department of workforce development, will
maintain close coordination among all federal, state, and local agencies
whose mission affects the employment or employability of the
unemployed and underemployed.
