REPORT INCREASE
 IN UNEMPLOYMENT
Setback in April Attrib- uted to Decline in PrO=
 ductiOn, Coal Strike

The expansion in employment during February and March was in- terrupted by setback in April, &C., cording to the Alexander Hamilton Institute. The number of persons employed in the United States de- clined from 40,181 ,000 in March to 39,889,000 in April. This decrease, however, was primarily the result of the bituminous coal strike and con- sequently, represented a temporary condition.
 The number of persons unemploy- ed in the United States increased from 11,781, ,000 in March to 12,090,- 900 in April. This increase practical ly eliminated the improvement dur ing February and March and, con- sequently, there were almost as many persons unemployed in April as in January. Unemployment in April, however, was still smaller than in the same month last year, when the number of persons unem- ployed totaled 12,498,000. At the same time, 1t is apparent that the improvement over the situation 8 year ago was not great.
 The prospect is that unemploy- ment will continue to be a serious problem during the remainder of the year. Unemployment will not be greatly reduced unless there is an increase in production. The neces- sary increase in production ,how- eversis not in prospect, since this cannot occur without either the development of an inflationary movement which will increase the national income or a reduction in wage rates which will permit the lower price level needed for larger demand. There is as yet no sign of the beginning of an inflationary movement, and no general wage cutting is in prospect.
