Record number get unemployment,
experts predict a tight job market
WASHINGTON (AP) - A
record number of Americans
drew unemployment checks in
mid-October, government
figures showed Thursday,
leading private economists to
predict further deterioration in
an already tight job market
Statistics released by the
Labor Department showed that
more than 4 68 million people
were getting unemployment
checks in the week ending Oct.
16 The seasonally adjusted
total was the highest since the
unemployment compensation
program was enacted as a
safety net for the jobless in the
mid-1930s
Officials with the
department s Employment and
Training Administration
stressed that while the
4,687,000 figure was the highest
ever, the situation is not as bad
as it has been They noted that
the insured employment rate
was 5 4 percent which is below
the 7 percent peak reached
during the recession of 1975.
Only insured workers draw
benefits
The Democratic Study Group,
which does research for
congressional Democrats, dis
puted the government’s op
timism. It complained that too
many Americans are failing to
qualify for unemployment in
surance benefits
It blamed the Reagan admin
istration’s budget-cutting initia
tives for tightening eligibility for
such benefits in a time of rising
joblessness.
More than half of the nation’s
11.3 million unemployed do not
draw such benefits. But a large
proportion of those listed as
unemployed were people who
futilely entered the labor market
in search of work — and thus did
not qualify for jobless benefits
NY cops seize
20 lbs of heroin
WASHINGTON (AP) - A
major organized crime drug
network in New York City was
immobilized with the arrest of 13
suspects and the seizure of 20
pounds of heroin valued at more
than $20 million, the
government said on Thursday
FBI Director William Webster
said the undercover operation
conducted by the Drug
Enforcement Administration
broke a heroin pipeline that was
importing about 25 kilograms of
the drug each week into the
United States
That would be enough to
sustain the habit of 19,000
hard-core addicts for nearly a
month, the DEA said
Kevin Gallagher, who heads
the DEA's heroin desk, said the
drug bust "is going to be felt in
the streets of New York "
