Unemployment Trend
Noted In County
Thomas Reveals Dark
And Bright Side Of
Picture In Report

Unemployment in Holmes coun-
ty shows a gloomier picture than
at this time last year, according
to H. H. Thomas, manager of the
Lexington Employment office, in
his monthly report issued We'd
nesday.
Initial claims as compared with
one year ago showed an increase
Of 100 per cent, Though this does
not necessarily mean that unem-
ployment in the county showed a
100 per cent decrease rather it
shows that twice as many new
ly-unemployed persons filed
claims during the past month as
filed them in May of 1948.
Gan accurate viewing of the en-.
ployment picture cannot be had
without listing of the total en-
ployed for the periods under COM
pariSon.
Picture Not Clearly Defined
(Whereas unemployment has in
creased so far as the employment
office is able to ascertain -
chances are that persons in this
area have received jobs without
the help of the employment office
and hence have not been regis
tered there; or, on the other
hand, may have become unem-
ployed without reporting to the
employment office. Thus, the
true picture cannot be but specu-
lated upon) -
Mr.. Thomas in his monthly re-
port pointed out that most Of the.
changes in the unemployment
picture came before April. 1949.
since the past month was about
the same in general as for April
Continued claims during May
however, showed a decrease over
those of April by 80 per cent. Re-
: ception contacts in May showed
. an increase of approximately 81
! per cent over May of the preced-
ing year. ;,

Bright Side Presented
Also on the bright side of the
employment picture, as stated in
the report, is the employment of
20 workers on the Lexington
