April Fool Predictions
By Peter Edson

unaccounted for They may be taking vacations they may have retired from the labor market.
 In the first 10 days after VJ-day 650,000 laid-on plant workers filed claims for job insurance The September it 296,000. First week in October it was little above 100000, and the first week in November it will probably be under 100000.
 It is not safe to say this marks the downturn in the tide of reconverSon unemployment, says Clague The trend may be reversed in coming weeks. But of midOctober when there were only l750000 ex-wsr workers registered for unemployment insurance 10 per cent between 1750 900 and 100000 were being dropped off the rolls because they had found jobs. In other words they dropping off the unemployment compensation rolls almost fast they were being added.
 If this reasoning is correct, it means that the whole problem ahead depends what happens to the returning veterans To date. 2,225,000 service and women have been demobized. What has happened to them is harder to determine than with the civilian ex-War workers. Many of the vets are taking long rests before going back to work
 But the surprising fact is that as of October l. only 5000 drawing unemployment benefits in the form of readjustment allowances under the CT bill of rights and the applications for benefits coming in at the rate of only 1000 week. That would indicate that the vast majority of the 3000 900 service people now being demobilized each week finding jobs
 Consolidation is now only one-third complete with four million more vets plus two million govern- ment workers to go by mid d-summer It Is normal to expect that when veteran comes back he may bump civilian out of job That factor could con- ceivably increase the load civilian unemployment compensation
 Whether the eight million unemployed is an April fool prediction depends finally on how fast industry open up jobs in building the auto industry, agriculture, the service trades and on all of which show potential of employing four or five million workers.
