The full text of President Hoover's
statement on unemployment, issued at
the White House late yesterday, follows:
"The Departments of Commerce and
Labor are engaged in the usual monthly
survey Of business and unemployment
and especially of the results obtained
from the measures which have been in
progress since the last of November, to
reduce unemployment and the hardship
following the dislocation from the stock
exchange crash. The survey 10 not as
vet complete. There are, however, GER
tain conclusions that are evident.
First Unemployment amounting to
distress is In the main concentrated in
IL States. The authorities in the re-
naming SO States indicate only normal
seasonal unemployment or that the
minor abnormal unemployment Is be-
ing rapidly absorbed.
Gradual Improvement Shown.
Second The low point Of business
and employment was the latter part OF
December and early January. Since
that time employment has been slowly
increasing and the situation is much
better today than at that time.
Third. Nationwide response to the
request for increased construction and
improvement work by public author
tiles. railroads, utilities and industries
Is having q most material effect. Con-
struetion contracts in these categories
In January and February were from 40
per cent to As per cent higher than ever
known in these months. The total con-
struction work for 1890 seems assured
to be larger than even 1929.
Fourth. The undertakings to main
tain wages have been held.
Fifth. The amount Of unemploy-
ment is, in proportion to the number of
workers, considerably less tprObaby only
one-third) of that which resulted from
the crashes Of 1907-08, 1920-22, at this
period Of the situation.
Money Rates Decreased.
"Sixth. Measures taken to ameliorate
interest rates have resulted in continue
Gus decrease since December, and money
is available at lower rates for buSi-
ness and commercial purposes. One
result is an increasing volume Of bond
issues have been placed for public i'm
provements. Available money for mort
gage purposes of home building and
agriculture has Jagged behind other
ferns of credit. But decrease In de-
mands of policy holders for loans on
the insurance companies and the &C.
ton recently taken by the Federal Re-
serve system should result in increased
supplies of credit. especially for resi-
Dental building, which in turn has lag
ged behind other construction.
Seventh. All evidences indicate that
the worst effects of the crash upon en-
ployment will have been passed during
the next 60 days with the amelioration
Of seasonal unemployment. the gaining
strength of other forces and the con-
tinIIed co-OneratiOn of the MANY agencies
actively cooperating with the Govern
ment TO restore business and to relieve
distress"
