GEORGIA HAS OVER 60,000 JOB SEEKERS Cutbacks in industry in Georgia have brought on a serious job short age in the State, Commissioner of Labor Ben T. Huiet said. More than 60,000 job seekers now are registered with the State Em ployment Service, the labor chief said. This serious decline in jobs from last year’s peak was attributed, in part, to the fact that the textile industry alone has dropped 20,000 workers from pay rolls in 18 months. Business readjustments began, Huiet said, when increased produc tion approached demand level dur ing the year. State Labor Department records showed that more than 104,000 Georgians filed for State job insur ance during the nine-month period ending Sept. 30, 1949. Some of these workers were working at part time jobs because their employers main tained limited production in order to avoid complete shutdown of plants. Eighty percent of these workers, Huiet said, has sufficient earnings to qualify for insurance. At the same time, Huiet said that only one of three of those seeking work through the State Employ ment Service are currently filing claims. Huiet pointed to this optimistic note when he said that 60 percent of those eligible for claims this year j returned to their old jobs, or found new ones, after receiving an aver age of five weeks’ payments. “The problem now facing Geor gia,” Huiet said, ”is the expansion; of present industries or the estab lishment of new industries to ab sorb workers already trained. Many must be retrained to fit them for new occupations " : PERSONALS : Mr. and Mrs. Y. D. Maddox spent Wednesday in Atlanta. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
