Profile of the JobLess Today
~ SYLVIA PORTER

ary, 1860, joblessness well may
be over 4 million. Despite the
post-strike rebound, the sea-
Sonally adjusted unemployment
rate in early 1860 we'll may be
close to 7 per cent of our labor
force.
Beneath the surface is the
fact that even the sharp up
surge of 1859 did not touch the
hard core. of the long-term un-
employed in distressed areas
and no foreseeable boom is
likely to touch it.
Beneath the surface is the
fact that after each postwar
recession the percentage of un-
employed in our country ap-
pears to be leveling out at a
higher figure, After the 1948-
49 recession the percentage
averaged around 81 per cent;
after the 1953-54 recession
around 4.3 per cent; after the
1878 recession. the normal
seems to be around 5 per cent
Beneath the surface is the
fact that despite the great need
for understanding the plight OF
the unskilled work and solving
the problam, pitifully little is
being done about it. THE i'm
portance of education and
training cannot be over
stressed" says DR.. Wolfbein,
But there is no evidence of a
national information program
on this, a national drive to ex-
pand training and apprentice
ships.
And beneath the surface is
the fact that while chronically
distressed areas cannot reha-
bilitate themselves without aid
in relocating and retraining
workers, attracting new indus
tries, legislation to help achieve
this has been Stymied by apathy
and squabbling in Washington,
Meanwhile, the hard core o1
jobless get harder, thicker,
tougher to pierce.

You read that 3.6 million
probably are unemployed as OF
this mid-November. Look be-
meath the statistic and what dc
you see?
You see mostly an unskilled
man. The rate of unemploy-
ment among laborers is 10 pei
cent. In contrast, the rate OF
unemployment among profes-
sionalS. technical workers, etc.
is one in 100.
You see mostly a young per-
son. The percentage of unem-
ployment in the 14-24 age
group is far above the percent
age in the over-25 category
The explanation lies in the
above paragraph - lack OF
Skills.' Those jobleSs are what
Seymour Wolfbein, manpower
chief of the Labor Department
calls "the drop-outs, the ones
who quit school before getting
aducation and training" They
are the misfltS at the bottom of
the job pile.
Statistics Cited
You see Negro. The per-
centage of unemployed non
whites is double the percentage
of unemployed whites. OF those
jobless today for more than
a half-year, cne of four is non
white against one of 10 in the
labor force as a whole.
You see a person who lives
in and once worked in an in.
dustrial city - quite probably
one of the long-depreSSed Goa,
mining, Woodworking, textile
pottery centers. The pools oi
joblessness still are in the areas
chronically distressed; most o1
the 100000 who have been out
of work for 26 weeks or longer
are in regions which have beer
hit hard by major induStria,
upheavals or migrationS.
This, then, is the face" ot
Americas unemployed in No
vember, 1859. Unskilled

dent of an area suffering q

Admittedly the key reason
for the high total of unemploy.
ment today is the prolonged
steel strike. We must not LOST
sight for an instant of the ex.
tent to which the strike ha!
distorted the whole economic
pattern. But again this is "sur.

BY ED MORSE
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The
stock market was pretty much
of a standoff this week except
for space age stocks which did
well. In a word, it took four
days to make up for Mondays
losses.
The Associated Press average
of go stocks closed unchanged
on the week at $221.7O.
One broker said that, based
on the Dow theory charts, the
market was pushed back to its
"5-yard line"-to use a foot
ball eXpression-held there and
rallied. But not enough for a
gain. The list still remained in
a narrow range.
The depressing action of the
rails was cited as one reason
for the Monday break. In ad-
dition, the Commerce Depart
ment reported that the steel
strike had cut further than ex-
pected into the Nations pro-
duction of goods and services.
A sharp drop in housing starts
for october was another
dampening factor.
The Wednesday rally was
laid to renewed hopes of a steel
strike settlement. But cold
water was dashed on this ad-
vance by union rejection of the
offer.
The five most active issues
this week on the New York
Stock Exchange were: Electri-
cal & Musical Industries, up "a
at l11a on 576,800 shares: AL
leghany Corp, up "a at IA;
AVCO, up l at 1424; Bruins

COUNTY
REPORT
DAVID STICK
Dare County Commissioner,
Ailcnsic township

In the three and half months
since taking office as a County
Commissioner / feel that / have
learned more about the problems
of the commercial fishermen and
small boat operators in Dare
County than in thirty years of pri-
or residence here.
Anyone studying the history of
this area must soon become aware
that for many years after its for
nation in 1870 Dare County was
primarily dependent on CONNER
cial fishing as a source of income.
1t is clear, too, that the decline in
commercial fishing which began
prior to- World War Two has con-
tinued to the point where today
commercial fishing trails far be-
hind the tourist industry in pro-
viding livelihood for Dare County
residents.
Even with further increases in
the tourist business in prospect,
however, it seems to me essential
for all of US in Dare County to try
to preserve our commercial fish
ing industry, and if possible to
help it regain it's former promi-
nence. For so long as there are
extensive and profitable CONNER
cial fishing operations here in the
off-season tourist periods, then
we will continue to have at least
a semblance of a balanced and di-
versified economy.
But if the day ever comes when
the last Dare County fisherman
pulls in his net and ties up his
boat for good, we will find our
selves in exactly the same position
as the one-industry mill towns in
New England, the logging towns
in the far west, and the defense
industry towns which sprang up
during the war. In such a situa-
ton q severe hurricane, an out
break of typhoid, or just two or
three poor tourist seasons could
bankrupt us all, and we would be
in the same position as those
other communities when the lone
