Prior to Labour Exchanges workers would have to search for jobs themselves, which was incredibly difficult during the winter. The Act also wanted to improve the mobility of the workforce, which until then had not been achieved. However, the Exchanges were not very effective since 75% of those listed on the Labour Exchange workforce did not find employment through them.
