August 7, 13 PAGE A 'i Facts On Unemployment Situation Prove Leading Domestic Problem TIMED FOR BACK-TO-SCHOOL BUYING -OUR EDITOR'S NOTE: More American! have Join than evrr htfort. according to figurrt re leased last week by the Labor Department. Rut more than 4 million persons do not have jobs and can't find them. This, the second of two dispatches on the Impact of poverty, outlines what Labor Secretary V. Willard Wirti calls "pur No, 1 domestic problem." By LOl'IS CASSELS WASHINGTON (UPI) - Dis. played on the main floor corridor the U.S. Department of Labor ouilding is a large chart which is blood-chilling in its own way as an Alfred Hitchcock movie. It shows the number of Ameri cans who are hunting jobs and unable to find them. Ten years ago, the unemployed constituted only 3 per cent of the nation s labor force. Five years ago. they constituted about 4'i per cent of the labor force. Today, six per cent of Ameri ca's workers are jobless. And the curve on the chart is still moving relentlessly upward. Why? The basic reason is that the U.S. economy is not growing fast enough to provide jobs for all the people who need them. During recent years, Labor De partment studies show, the econo my has been creating only about 90 per cent of the new jobs re quired to offset the jobs lost through automation and gains in productivity, and to employ an ever-growing labor force. For example, 11.3 million new jobs were needed during the past five years simply to maintain un employment at the 11157 level. But economic growth actually pro duced only 10.2 million jobs the STAR G-AXER) By CLAY R.

L'nless the rate of economic growth is sharply increased, the unemployment problem will grow dramatically worse over the next few years. There will he a tremendous wave of now workers enterinR the labor force duiinR the liWO's, as young people born during the postwar "baby boom begin hunt ing (or jobs. The Labor Department esti mates that the economy will have to create 16 million new jobs dur ing the next five years just to stay even. If it falls short by 10 per cent as it did during live past five years the number of unemployed will rise by another .6 million to the highest level since the great depression of the 1930' s. Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, busi nessmen and labor leaders ait agree on the imperative need to step up America's rate of econom ic growth, so that there will be jobs for those now unemployed as well as those entering the labor force in years ahead. Opinions differ sharply, how ever, on the particular measures : which arc most apt to stimulate more rapid growth. President Kennedy says major tax cuts and reforms, such as those proposed in the administra-l lions lax legislation now belore Congress, are Ihe quickest way lo generate larger markets, addi tional investment and more job i opportunities."
