RIVERSIDE ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1930 CITY TO OBTAIN WORK FOR MEN Plans to conduct an employment campaign for Riverside people who have been thrown out of work by depressed business conditions of 1930 were made at a meeting of representatives of welfare organizations with the building trades committee of the Riverside chamber of commerce yesterday afternoon… Every property owner who has an odd job of any sort, from cleaning up the back yard to working on a ranch or in an orange grove, will be asked to turn in the information at headquarters. In response to these listings of employment, the central agency will send out a local resident whom local investigation has shown worthy and badly in need of work. “A few hours of work at 50 cents an hour (about $7.00 in 2013) will not mean a great deal to most citizens of the city, but if a sufficient number of people cooperate in furnishing short jobs, it will tide over many permanent residents now unemployed,” [said] Duff Hansen, chairman of the chamber of commerce. *Transcription of article. Original is available on microfilm through the Riverside Public Library Local History Collection.

Right: Mission Inn owner Frank A. Miller’s Christmas Eve letter to his employees, regarding the economic downturn and poor business. By December, 1930, the effects of the Great Depression were being felt by many businesses across America. National unemployment was near 15% when this letter was written. Letter: Mission Inn Museum Collection

Photos: Mission Inn Museum Collection The Rotunda Construction Project kept numerous Riverside residents employed during the first years of the Great Depression. Despite dwindling business, Frank Miller hoped his major addition would prove a valuable long-term investment.

The Rotunda wing was completed in 1931, but despite Miller’s efforts, business at the Mission Inn never completely recovered. However, Riverside fared better than most of the United States – not a single Riverside bank failed during the Great Depression. Photos: Mission Inn Museum Collection
