According to Guy Barker, office. ' manager, layoffs and hires prac- tically offset each other during the month. Unemployment was -still more than 10 per cent of the eligible work force, and was running from 300 to 400 men high er than in 1960. There were 1,497 unemployed workers claiming benefits at the end of February this vear com- pared to 1,153 at the same time lUll JVC, lite IIU1I1MVI JL nvin' ers registered for jobs was 1,879 this year and 1,412 last year. "Although conditions have been difficult for many workers and businessmen during the past year," Barker said, "there have remained many sound basic eco nomic factors holding Klamath Basin economy above depression level." Barker said the lumber Industry appears to be holding its own and several large construc tion projects are planned for the - summer. ' Barker said there are skilled men and women available for many kinds of work. Several qua! ified stenographers and some ex perieneed fales people and typists are registered at the office.
