Conditions Better Than Ex

Found Statistics Use
ful in Recovery Plans
Completion of the federal buat
ness census In Jackson and five neigh,
boring counties, included In the
southern Oregon district, was report
ed yesterday by Mrs. A. E. Reamea,
district supervisor, who waa closing
her orflcos In the federsl building.
The census revealed business con
ditions In this county and throughout
the district were In better condition,
then anticipated at national head
quarters. The approximate estimates
sent out, placed the total number of
business enterprises In Jackson county
at 741. The census takers located 813,
the report shows. The total for the
district was estimated at 3018. the
census showed 3620. a
The co-operation extended the so
licitors by merchants was very grati
fying, Mrs. Reamea stated yesterday,
enabling the workers to complete the
task without encountering annoying
obstacles.
The data gathered will be com
parable with the reports or the 1020
census of distribution, and will be
of great value In the preparation of a
background for economlo planning.
It la one of the advantages of the
present undertaking that It will pro
vide' a measure or the effect on busi
ness of the difficult conditions which
have prevailed during the last four
years.
One of the features of the census
Is the employment data It wilt furnish
for 1033. It is expected to show very
clearly, month by month, the extent
of trui effectiveness or tne Becovery
program, as It affects the return to
gainful employment of many thou
sands of workers In the trades and
services covered. Complete employ
ment data resulting from the census
will show relative employment op
portunities In the different service
trades which absorb about one-fifth
of all persons gslnfully employed In
this country. The seasonal fluctua
tions will be an aid to sessonal plan
ning for business men and communi
ties, and will make possible antlcipa
tlons of part-time and full time em
ployment with fair accuracy.
