tAQl SIXTN THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 194? Central Oregon Employmenf Higher, But More Jobless Although unemployment In- creased In central Oregon this past month, there are more per sons presently employed In non seasonal Industries in the mid state area than In any other pre vious month on record, Clark A. Price, manager of the Oregon State Employment service office In Bend, announced today. While Price did not release the figure of the total number of persons employed in non-seasonal work In the area, he said that his statement was based upon the number of persons In the area currently under the Oregon state unemployment comp e n s a t i o n commission. GOO Now Jobless The manager estimated that 600 persons were unemployed in the three mid-state counties this past month, as compared to 400 In June. In July of 1948 there were 250 persons unemployed in the area. A total of 230 persons con tinued their unemployment com pensation claims at the end of July compared to 150 the previ ous month. In July of 1948 there were some 75 persons who con tinued claims at the end of that month. . The Increase in unemployment, according to Price, can be attribu ted to lay-offs in the lumber In dustry; entrance Into the labor market of students; reduced work opportunities in over-all construction work, and a lesser demand for farm workers be cause of ' farm work becoming more mechanized. 887 Work Openings Other figures provided by Price showed that 297 work openings, representing 60 different occupa tions, were received by the local office during the month of July, compared to 203 for the month of June. . Included in these job openings were 68 in wholesale and retail trades (up 300 per cent over June); 30 In service industries (up 400 per cent); 15 in domestic service (up 700 per cent); 18 in lumber and wood products (down 50 per cent from the June fig ure); 37 in construction (down 10 per cent), and 75 in agricul ture (down 15 per cent). Job orders and applicant refer ral records, Price stated, indicate -that the diversity of Job open ings received by the local office during the month of July, was a result of recent development and Improvement of the employ ment service program of reclassi fying and screening of applicants to provide better service to em ployers. Improving Service The move to improve the serv ice to employei-s, he said, was begun this past March when jui extensive applicant interviewing program was put into effect whereby all applicants were care fully screened according to their work experience and education. At that time, Price continued, the policy was established to re fer applicants to employers, only If the applicants were specifically qualified to meet the employer requirements. Subsequent to the inauguration of this selective placement pro gram, the manager added. Wil liam Humphreys, placement spe cialist of the local office, took extensive training in personnel and specialized placement work from G. Clinton Weeks, state training officer of personnel, who' was formerly in the personnel de partment of Macv's in New York City. Bird's .Execution Proves Expensive I Tacomn, Wash.
