Employment agency

One of the oldest references to a public employment agency was in 1650, when Henry Robinson proposed an "Office of Addresses and Encounters" that would link employers to workers. The British Parliament rejected the proposal, but he himself opened such a business, which was short-lived. Since the beginning of the 20th century, every developed country has created a public employment agency as a way to combat unemployment and help people find work. In Australia, the first public employment service was set up in 1946, called the Commonwealth Employment Service.
