SANDY, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1952
Estimated 95% ‘Tain’t So’ Says

Employment Official
Voices Optimism For
Full Employment Soon
“Unlike unemployed in the
winters of 1950 and 1951, prob-
ably 95 per cent of this year’s
unemployed had jobs to return
to as soon as the weather per
mitted and, therefore, the out
look is quite optimistic for full
employment,” reports Ted Huff,
manager of the Oregon state
employment service at Oregon
City.
“Inclement weather affected
the seasonal .industries in Clack
amas county in January to a
point where estimated unemploy
ment rose to 2500 as compared
to 1550 last year. Reception con
tacts nearly doubled, and unem
ployed claims rose to over 2000
per week during the middle of
the month.
When moderate
weather set in toward the end
of the month, the claim load
was directly affected by the re
turn of loggers and lumber
workers to their former jobs."
Loggers Impeded
“Lumbering and logging,” con
tinued Huff, “slowed down to a
snail’s pace in December. Bad
weather continued into January,
closing most operations through
heavy snows and softening
roads. Considerable weather mod
eration during the latter part
of January resulted in many
operators calling their crews to
work again. The resumption of
woods activity brought about a
sharp decline in the unemployed
ranks, and the continuance of
good weather should decrease
the number further. An estimat
ed 1200 were unemployed the
middle of January but dropped
fast the latter part of the
month.”
“Little agricultural activity
has been evidenced thus far in
the new year,’ ’said Huff. “The
only calls for workers during
January were for fruit tree
pruners. With the continuance
of good weather much greater
activity is anticipated for the
near future. Some berry grow
ers have already ordered pla
toons for next May or June.”
