(UPI Telcphoto) Anomaly in Work Picture Revealed in June Statistics By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York -UPD- Today wo hnve the usual unusual June aet of slntlstlo - rising em ployment and rising unem ployment. It'a what the users of nice English cull an anom n 1 y which Webster suys 1 1 something out of keeping Elmer Wnlier with ncccpted notions of fitness or order. Certainly one would think Hint If employment rose to a record high, unemployment would show a decline corre sponding to the rise in em ployment. School graduates looking for Jobs nre added to the un employment rolla and that ac counts for the situation. And this addition is done each yenr nl this time. Unemployment has risen to a bit more than 3 per cent of the work force, a level where politicians get into the act with schemes to stabilize em ployment and keep the un employment percentage down. Switch In Jobs For a long time there has been a change going on In the type of employment in the na-tlon-a rise in white collar workers, and a decline in blue collar workers. More persons have been going out of manu facturing into service Indus tries. Jumes W. Knowlcs, staff economist with the Joint Eco nomic Committee of Congress, delves into this employment situation in the current issue of Challenge, published by the Institute of Economic Affairs of New York university. Knowlcs, speaking for him self and not for the commit tee, notes that technological progress and improvements in the health, education, training and experience of the labor force and better managerial techniques make It possible for the same number of work ers to produce more goods and services.

He cites the Increase In service workers and the in crease in white collar work ers and points out that there is a belief these changes mean greater stability in employment. Knowles finds that the big change in employment over the years has been in agricul ture which in 1900 provided 37.5 per cent of the jobs. This fell to 12 per cent n 1B50. Should Accentual Trend 'A rapid expansion of re search and development ac tivities, automation, record keeping, and educational med ical and other services should accentuate this trend toward more stable white collar em ployment," Knowles says. But, he adds, this shift to industries which In the past have provided the most stable employment does not necessa rily mean that there will be ! increased stability In total em ployment, "As a higher percentage of the labor force finds employ ment in occupations which have been less sensitive to de clines in demand for goods and services, these industries, themselves, are likely to change," he says. As employment tends to be come more stable, profits tend to become more unstable, he notes. And hence emolovera will want to bring down fix-! ed costs of wages, unemploy ment benefits and the like. Part-Time Labor Sought He touches on the possibil ity of employers finding new ways of using part-time work ers, especially women and teen-agers. Those kept on full- time would have stable loos while the part-timers would find their more numerous jobs more cyclically sensitive than in the past. Thomas R. Brooks, labor ex pert for Business Week, writes in the same issue of Challenge on the subject of prospects for part-time work ers. This lorm oi wont, ne says, has been an accepted part of the American labor scene lor many years. Part-time work, Brooks finds, is running to higher skill levels, is subject to pros perity, and is a factor in stability. "Actually." he says, "one can argue that .while stability In employment may be de sirable, stability in part-time employment is not. Given Flexibility 'At a time when many sec tions of our economy are in creasingly rigid -when labor mobility, for example, Is froz en by the growth of seniority and pension rights - part-time employment unquestionably gives the economy a flexibil ity it otherwise would not hnve. "Perhaps this is the real contribution of part-time work to economic health." Just now Wnll Street wel comes the rise to a record high In overall employment but deplores the rise to more thnn 5 per cent In unemploy ment because the latter may stir up disturbing pallntivcs.
