Employment Trends
Predicted By Foster
During the next 60 days work
opportunities should be plentiful,
says George T. Foster, manager
of the Oregon State Employment
office.
Although the labor supply has
been short, the situation is not
critical he added. Openings are
plentiful for qualified workers par
ticularly in service classifications.
Good weather conditions during
August kept the loggers at work
in contrast to the; low humidity
and fire-saturated month last
year. Early morning, "hoot-owl"
logging permitted loggers to sup
ply, the mills this summer.
