National Unemployment Rises
To 4.5-Million In December
Employment fell and unem
ployment rose more than sea
sonally between November and
December, immediate past Sec
retary of Labor James P.
Mitchell announced. He noted
further job reductions in man
ufacturing industries, in addi
tion to the usual winter cur
tailment in outdoor work.
Unemployment moved up
by one-half million to 4.5 mil
lion. about triple the usual in
crease at that time of year. As
a result, the seasonally ad
justed rate of unemployment
reached 6.8 percent in Decem
ber, as compared with 6.3
percent a month earlier. State
insured unemployment was up
by 400,000 over the month to
2.4 million in the week end
ing December 10.
Total employment fell by 1.2
million to 5.0 million in De
cember. This drop was sharper
than usual, even after allow
ing for the normal seasonal de
cline in agriculture (700,000)
and the termination of the
temporary jobs of about 250,-
000 election workers. Total em
ployment was just about the
same as a year earlier, not
counting Alaska and Hawaii
in the 1961 figures.
The number of persons un
employed for 15 weeks or
longer (the long-term unem
ployed) was unchanged at 1.0
million. However, this group
was about 200,000 higher than
a year earlier. As in Novem
ber, about half the long-term
unemployed had been jobless
for more than 6 months. The
largest part of the unemployed
continued to be inthe group
unemployed less than 5 weeks
—2.1 million, or 46 percent of
the jobless total.
All of the net increase in
unemployment from November
to December occurred among
men, but the rise was greater

and Mrs. Gerald Dimsdale, Mr.
and Mrs. Mickey Johnson and
Mrs. L. C. Johnson helping him
to enjoy this occasion.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
than seasonal. At the same
time, the decline female un
employment was smaller than
usual for that time of year.
In just about every age
group, the seasonally adjusted
rate of unemployment rose,
continuing the general uptrend
which began last spring. Inci
dence of unemployment con
tinued to be highest among
teenagers; however, much
sharper increases in unemploy
ment in recent months have
been recorded by adult work
ers. The unemployment rate
for married men reached 5.1
percent in December, as com
pared with 3.6 percent a year
earlier.
The number of workers on
nonfarm payrolls rose by 180,-
000 over the month to 53.6 mil
lion; usually the increase is
well over half a million. Ex
pansion in trade and govern
ment employment was largely
offset by an unusually sharp
decline in construction—in part
the result of a snowstorm in
the Northeast — and by the
continuing downturn in fac
tory employment.
Factory employment, which
usually shows a small decline
in December, dropped sharply
—by almost 300,000 jobs—to
15.9 million. Every major man
ufacturing industry reported a
decline. Largest reductions
were in durable goods indus
tries.
The factory workweek fell
by 0.4 hour over the month to
38.8. Hours usually rise in De
cember but failed to do so in
1960, largely because of the
heavy snowstorms. A rise is
hourly earnings to $2.32 offset
the decline in worktime, so
that weekly earnings were al
most unchanged at $90.02.

Some of this year’s Valentine
"studio” cards are real “ego
busters!”
Imagine receiving this mes
sage on Valentine's Day: "Can
I be your Valentine . . . with
out. being obligated?”
Or this one from the same
publisher. Rust Craft: “I love
you because you're so sweet
and simple . . . minded!”
For those who like a little
Shakespearean flavor tn their
'Valentine greetings, there is:
“Ah, Valentine, thou makest
my poor heart . . . bum!"
These off-beat Valentines
closely resemble the “Vinegar
Valentines” or "Penny Horri
bles.” as some were later called,
of a century ago.
For the young lady who cared
little for an acquaintance, for
example, there was a Valentine
in the 1860's with a drawing of
an efficient - looking penknife.
Underneath the title. “A Smart
Blade.” appeared this rhyme.
If the truth must be told
You cut it rll too fine.
You're a sm . t-looking blade
But no favorite of mine.
