The Employment Act of 1946 imposed a responsibility on the federal government to promote maximum employment, making it the government's responsibility to maintain a stable economy with as much employment as possible. However, it did not guarantee full employment or allow the government to hire as many people as it wanted to achieve full employment. It also did not give the government the power to levy an income tax or require budget surpluses to achieve full employment.
