NEW EMPLOYMENT RECORD

In spite of dour unemployment estimates made shortly after V-Day Japan, the U. S. Census Bureau recently announced that Americans-some 55,- 32oOoo of then1-have jobs than before in our history Employment now has surpassed the previous neak reached in July 1943 when 54750000 individuals were on various of the nations pay rolls Today the estimate concludes only 2310000 are unemployed John w Snyder former Reconversion Director, est1- mated in the late summer of 1945 that the total iobless would reach the 8000O00 mark by this time
 There were several causes for those earlier pre- dictions-most of which new seem entirely without basis of fact. Primary among the fears which en- eendered the greater fear of unemployment was our lack of confidence in industrys ability to reconVere to peacetime production. Forgetting that Amerlca converted from peace to war in period of monthS many of citizens believed that an equally speedy shift in the other direction would be impossible
 But industry operating under the system of individual enterprise again proved itself able to meet the occasion Within a matter of weeks after Japan equalization and the removal of the first group of wartime production restrictions the wheels of factories began to turn Civilian goods began to fall into the waiting retail hoppers For all our shortages" pro duction in most categories greater than it ever has been. Strikes and labor disputes have caused delays in certain programs, but generally speaking the job of production as evidenced by the employ ment figures above has been a magnificent one.
