Unemployment Up
In November
November established another !
seasonal peak in unemployment j
* compensation for Oregon with
payments of $1,933,327 — high
est on record for any month In
the last half of the year. This |
brought the 1949 total of state
benefits to $16,622,325, almost ,
up to the $16,669,748 all-time |
high for the entire year of 1946 I
With December payments ex I
pected to pass two millions, the j |
1949 total may be close to $19
millions, according to the State j
Unemployment
Compensation1
Commission.
Last month’s total was over J
three times the November, 1948.1
figure and more than was paid !
out during the entire fourth '
quarter of 1946 or 1947. Last )
year November benefits of $535,-
365 more than doubled in Dec-I1
ember to reach $1,113,109. but
officials do not expect the same
rate of increase this year. The j j
seasonal peak usually is reached
in February or March.
The Portland office accounted
for $830,997 in November bene
fits or about 43 per cent of the
total, while the addition of the
Oregon City and Hillsboro Dis- !
trict would bring the total to ]
$930,388 or more than 48 per
cent of the checks. Since th e,
beginning of the year $7,817,-
040 has been distributed to un
employed workers in the Metro
politan area, including Multno
mah, Columbia, Clackamas and
Washington counties.
Eugene and Lane county were I
second in payments with $124,-1
397 for the month and $1,118,-
618 so far in 1949. Not far be-1
hind was Salem and the Marion-
Polk county section with $112,- i
850 for November and $990,-
596 for the year to date.
Local offices reported 28,342
claimants in the last week of |
November as compared with 18,-
610 a year ago. Last year’s fig
ure included many veterans' j
claims, however, while only a i
few hundred now are bing paid
under the G-I Bill. November!
allowances to former service i
men were $56,486 against $229,-
567 las4 yeaf.
