A socialist economic system eliminates unemployment by employing all able workers. If there is a surplus of workers, average working hours are reduced. The reduction in wages is made up to each individual worker through owning a share of industry (public ownership of the means of production).

In effect, while a capitalist economy suffers unemployment from increasing automation, a socialist economy could just reduce the average working day for each worker while maintaining full employment.
