was only a small per cent of the
original number reported

Ten Percent Still
Unemployed
In Arkansas

After the increase of employ
ment in Arkansas during the past
two months there are still 10 per
cent Of the states labor forces
still unemployed, according to D.
Palmer Patterson, state director
of the U. S. Employment Service.
The USES Bi-monthly Labor
Market Bulletin issued Saturday,
Aug. "a, shows that highly skilled
carpenters and brick masons are
labor classifications still in short
supply in Little Rock, and through
out the state. The Udban areas
note continued shortages of auto
mobile body and fender repair
men.
Looking forward to two months
in the Little Rock area, the re-
port predicts need here for
1000 new employees in construc-
ton industries, trade and service.
The local office received 1869 job
openings during the past two
months and at the end of July,
26S remained untitled.
Mr.. Patterson said the employ
ment out, look for the next two
months in Arkansas is for a sharp
increase in seasonal activities
such as food processing, cotton
oil mills and gradual gains in
non-seasonal industries. Construc-
ton employment rose slightly as
the flow of material increased il
volume, although shortages con-
tinue to exist in major critical
items.
Employment for women is ex-
pected to increase by 900 by No
vember due to the opening of the
canning season and the increased
need for women at several large
plants.
