Employment policies were a concern throughout history but not always in the sense of Keynes. German neoliberals (who had anticipated Keynesian ideas around 1930) emphasised the need for productive employment in the period of growth after the war. According to the vision of a social market economy, jobs should not be only temporary, but offer lasting employment, in industries with good development prospects, and in conditions conductive to good work.
