Temporary suspension OF the strike
situation in the copper and metal in
dustry early in September renews the
extremely close balance between sup
ply and demand in the labor mar
kets of the state, according to M.
Joe Miller, chairman of the unemploy-
ment compensation commission. In
dustries and employment on the
fringe of the strike are resuming
after the furry of reductions which
accompanied the halt in basic opera
ton. Other industries, unaffected be-
cause of the brevity of the strike
period, are about at the seasonal peak
of their employment demand.
Withdrawals of student and teach
er workers as schools reopen have
accentuated the limited status of
labor supply and developed actual
shortages in several areas, Mr.. Miller
says in the monthly review of labor
market conditions. Additional de-
mands upon this limited supply are
foreseen in the mastering of crews
for sugar refining, harvest of Christ
mas trees, expansion of coal output
for the winter season, and the har-
vest of late farm crops.
cat the same time" Mr.. Miller
says, "the states normal seasonal
pattern of maximum employment
has been rounded out. Usually the
tapering off in construction jobs,
reduction in summer help for SER
vice and other industries as the
tourist season closes, and the COM
pletion of hay and grain harvests,
releases workers in sufficient vol
ume to meet these fall demands. Ex-
isting shortages are thought to be
and will be relieved by re-
location of comparatively small
of workers"
