Rebuttal: The CCC actually indirectly addressed high unemployment in the trade unions by reducing overall unemployment rates and creating more job opportunities.
Evidence: The CCC's employment of millions of unskilled laborers helped stimulate the economy and provide a boost to local businesses, which in turn increased demand for goods and services.

Additionally, some of the job skills and training provided by the CCC were transferable and applicable to trade union work, allowing individuals to transition into trade union employment after their time in the CCC.
