Facts OF State

The North Carolina Research
Institute has compiled a stries Of
statistics measuring business con-
ditions in the State for the first
six months Of this year which indi-
cate that the general readjust-
ment" situation through which
business has been going during
recent montffhs continues to be
felt, but that the declines have
been gradual and that the overall
level is still very high. More than
20 economic indicators are includ-
ed among the Institutes statistics,
including such important ones as
employment, retail sales, bank
debts, receipts from farm market
ings, and State revenue collections.
Perhaps the indicators which best
reflect conditions in the several
communities of the State are jobs
and retail sales.
The general employment situa-
ton in North Carolina at the end
of June showed little change from
what it has been during recent
months. Perhaps the most signifi-
cant factor in the employment
picture was that it did not change
appreciably either for better or
worse, whereas usually June sees
an apperciable increase in employ
ment as result of a new crop of
students entering the labor force
Tor the first time. Total non-agro-
cultural employment in the State
during June was about $4,000
which was substantially the same
as during May, but considerably
less than in June year ago when
it was l,O03,40O.
Reports from the North Carolina
Employment Security Commission
reflect substantially the same sit
uation. Applications for unemploy-
ment insurance payments and the
number of people seeking jobs in
dictate that the situation in June
was not greatly different from
May, but that it was substantially
worse than in June a year ago.
The number of unemployment in
surance claims (weeks claimed)
during June was $4,000, which
was less than in May, when the
total was 271, 900 but it was more
than double the total in June a
year ago. The number of lob an
pllcations on file throughout the
State at the end of June was 78. 600
as compared with $4,000 in Nav.
out which is up 81 per cent as
compared with June a year ago
when the total was $1,000.
JOB applications and unem-
ployment insurance payments
for Columbus county are handI-
ed through the Employment
security Office in Lumberton-
which means that Columbus
county is Jumped with Robson
ana laden. The total number of
Job applications on file in the
Lumberton office at the end of
June was 1898, which was a
Slight drop, 2.86 per cent, as
compared with the same month
a year ago, when the total was
1854. The CoIumbus-BIad

In the entire State to show this
evidence Of less unemployment.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-08-04

In terms Of claims for eunem-
ployment insurance. there was
an increase but the increases
IS not nearly SO large as that
for the State as . whole. The
number Of weeks claimed during
June was $500. which was an
increase Of 41.52 per cent as
compared with the same month
a year ago when the total was
1888.
Retail sales in North Carolina,
as measured by retail sales tax
collections, were lower in June
than in June a year ago, and the
total for the first six months of
This year was below the compare
BILE total in 1858. Total retail sales
tax collections in June were S4,-
10000, which was a hefty drop
of 6.28 per cent as compared with
June of last year when the total
was S4,712,000. Retail sales tax
collections for the first six months
of 1854 were S27,5O3, 900, which
was 1.79 per cent less than during
the first six months Of 1853 when
the total was $28, 065 900.
Retail sales for Columbus CO.
unity In June, based on sales
tax collections, revealed . heavy
drop Of 81 per cent below June
Of last year when the total was
S47.6S3. 1t should be pointed
out. however, that those collec-
tons Of S47,683 in June a year
ago were much above normal.
For the first six months of 1854,
as compared with the first six
months of 1858. the decrease In
Columbus was about the same
as for the State as a whole, the
decline being "A per cent, or
from S217.S81 to S212.645.
incidentally, retail sales for the
entire country were down by about
the same extent as in North Caro-
lima. During May of this year, Ma
tional retail sales were S14.2 bill
lion which was three per cent
below the comparable month a
year ago. Cumulative sales for the
first five months of this year Ma
tionally-no National figures are
ct available for June-were two
per cent below the comparable
period in 1858.
Bank debts, which are a sensi-
tive barometer of current business
activity, were down in North Car
DINA during June by almost two
per cent as compared with June
of last year, and bank debts for
the first six months of this year in
North Carolina were also down as
compared with the same 1853 per-
iod, by about 2.5 per cent. BY way
of contrast, bank debts for the
rest of the country were up in
June as compared with June a
year ago by 6 per cent, and for the
first six months of 1854 as COM
pared with the first six months
of 1853 they were up rs per cent.
Some of this difference is explain
ed by the fact that the first six
months of the year is the low
point in the year in so far as ag-
ricultural marketing is concerned,
