But as provocative as any
finding was this emphasis on
the almost complete absence of
information of job vacancies.
The only detailed occupa-
tional statistics we have are
those collected in the decennial
census. These figures are IL
years old before a new set be-
comes available. The monthly
household survey on employ
ment is of exceedingly limited
usefulness. While it Is clear
that job vacancy statistics must
come from employers, the Bu-
reau Of Labor Statistics as of
now collects this data on only
a few occupations.
The need for this informa-
tion-and we're going to get
the figures now that the lack
of them has been emphasized

Up to date, national figures
on job vacancies will be of vi

tivity.
They surely will reveal the
condition of the labor market.
AS an illustration, if the total
Of vacancies exceeds the total
of unemployed, this could be a
sign that the economy is
straining toward initiation.
Steps are being taken to fill
the gap the Gordon committee
has underlined. The BIS is
working on a QUESTIONABLE to
be sent to between 500 and
1000 companies in various in
dustries before next spring as
part Of a pilot survey on Job
vacancies. Studies are to be
made of what job vacancy data
is now available, especially
among State employment agen-
cies. Studies also will be made
of how job vacancy informa-
ton is used in other countries,

It's an obvious gap and seems
astounding that it's been per-
mltted to exist so long.
