Employment
Shows Gain,
State Reports
Seasonal employment gains con
timtri thrmiph the early week of
September although early layoffs
in some food processing plants
produced "Scattering upturns in
' initial claims for compensation,
f the state unemployment compen
sation commission said Thursday.
Preliminary estimates of non-agriculture
employment last month
showed 15,800 more persons work
ins thsn in mid-July but the to
tal of 459,100 was under the year?
ago figure of 488,100 and height
rvrr cent under the all-time hieh
of 495.700 in the late summer of
1952. - '
Meanwhile continued claimants
have dropped off nearly a thou
sand in the past month but a rise
is new applications usually is aa
indicator of increases in the num
ber of unemployed. I (
About 22,900 workers still were
involved in labor disputes' when
ih Aiipust count of non-farm
! jobs was made but nearly all now
are back at work. I j.
Below Peak
Employment in lumber and log
r ging, however, rose 7,800 from
? July to 64,200, still 4100 under
i last winter's mark and 32,100 be-
low the August, 1952, peak of
96,300. Metals and shipbuilding
; increased slightly from the pre
i vious month but with machinery
i manufacturing continuing to" lag
considerably behind recent years.
Food processing helped take up
the job slack last month, with 26,-
500 workers reported. This was
' the highest since September 1949,
About 5000 employes were added
: by canning plants, mostly because
of an earlier bean harvest in
; western Oregon, fish canning also
picked up appreciably.! Textiles
and apparel reported small gains
with a 5400 toUl slightly above
; recent summers.
Construction Gains
Construction also gained j over
July, adding 2600 workers but
f till shott of the seasonal highs
since 1949. Little change was
shown in trade, transportation
and utilities, still running a few
thousand behind last year.
