The Employment Situation: Nov. 1968
WASHINGTON — Employment
rose substantially and unemploy
ment declined in November, the
U. S. Department of Labor’s
Bureau of Labor statistics has
announced.
The unemployment situation
Improved for all major groups In
the labor force, and the over-all
unemployment rate fell from 3.6
percent to 3.3 percent — the lo
west In over 15 years and below
the previous post-Korean low of
3.5 percent reached several
times earlier this year.
The number of unemployed
persons was 2.6 million in Nov
ember, down 200,000 from Octo
ber after seasonal adjustment.
There were declines of 100,000
for adult men, 75,000 for women,
and 25,000 for teenagers.
The seasonally adjusted unem
ployment rates for adult men
(2.0 percent), adult women (3.4
percent), and full-time workers
(3.0 percent)allfell in November;
the rates for adult men equaled
the lowest rate since this series
began in 1948. The jobless rate
for teenagers, at 12.2 percent,
changed only slightly over the
month.
Unemployment among nonwhite
workers dropped from 7.4 to 6.5
percent in November. For the
first 11 months of 1968, the non
white rate has averaged 6.8 per
cent, the lowest for any compara
ble period since the Korean war.
The jobless rate for white wor
kers decreased from 3.2 percent
in October to 3.0 percent in No
vember.
Unemployment rates for most
major occupational groups de
clined in November and were well
below the rates of a year ear
lier. Jobless rates for operat
ives (4.2 percent) and nonfarm
laborers (6.6 percent) returned
close to their 1968 lows recorded
in May. The rate for service
workers also fell in November,
after rising for the last 2 months.
The number of persons unem
ployed 15 weeks or more totaled
350,000 In November (seasonally
adjusted), the lowest level in 15
years. Since November 1967,
long-term unemployment has de
clined by over 100,000.
The unemployment rate of wor
kers covered under State un
employment Insurance pro
grams, at 2.2 percent in mid-
November, was virtually unchan
ged from the previous month.
Average weekly hours for all
rank and file employees on pri
vate non - agricultural payrolls
declined 0.3 hour from the Octo
ber level to 37.4 hours (season
ally adjusted). Nearly all major
Industry sectors recorded work
week reductions.
Average hourly earnings for all
rank and file workers were un
changed In November at $2.92.
Because of the decline in the
average workweek, however, av
erage weekly earnings fell to
$109.21, a decline of $1.17 from
October. Compared to Novem
ber 1967, average weekly earn
ings were up $5.47 or 5.3 per
cent.
The civilian labor force rose
to 79.0 million (seasonally ad
justed) in november, a gain of
225,000 from October. The ad
vance returned the labor force
to its July level. Nearly all of
you well see. . .so until next
week. . .we’ll be doing our best
to do a good job of. . .Jest

6 Risk Factors
In Heart Attack
Are you waiting around to have
a heat attack? No? You may
think you’re not, but that may
be, in effect, exactly what you’re
doing. When was your last ch
eckup? In the last year? Good.
How was your blood pressure?
Not bad. Do you exercise re
gularly? Oh, once a week. Unh
hunh. And what did you have
for lunch? Breaded pork chops,
baked potatoes with sour cream,
fried okra, butter beans, waldorf
salad, peacan pie ala mode, milk
with dinner, coffee and mints
afterward. Mmm-mmm. And
then I suppose, you sank deep
into the courch with a news
paper and a cigarette.
Well, no harm, you say, if I
do that just once in a while.
Well, perhaps no harm that you
can measure, but then there’s
no measurable good in following
health rules just “once in a
while” either.
There are six established ways
by which you can positively re
duce your risk of having a heart
attack. Control your blood pres
sure. Stop smoking. Don’t eat
foods with saturated fat. Re
duce if you’re overweight. Exer
cise regularly. And have re
gular medical checkups.
Merely reading these things
Is a guarantee of nothing more
than that you will know the ways
putting them Into action guarant
ees that you will reduce your
risk of having a heart attack.
In view of the fact that over
half the deaths in this country
each year are due to diseases of
the heart and circulatory sys
tem, that’s some guarantee.
A new booklet available from
the Georgia Heart Association,
titled “Why Risk Heart Attack:
Six Ways to Guard Your Heart,”
asserts that, "Research scien
tists are getting closer to the
secret of prevention. . .studies
show that certain physical con
ditions and living habits Increase
the risk of heart attack; and for
every one of these risks there is
a practical step you can take to
counteract it. All this adds up
to a health program that can
be followed, with a doctor’s gui
dance, by everyone in the fa
mily. . .”
According to the Georgia Heart
Association, "reducing your risk
will give you the best chance of
avoiding a heart attack in the
prime of life.”

Authorities Say Too Many Visitors
Can Be Bad Medicine in Hospitals
You may be doing your hos
pitalized friend or a member of
your family a favor by not visit
ing. . ..
Though hospital visits can be
beneficial to the patient, experts
believe many are unnecessary
even unwanted.
Visitors can cause noise, tin
rest, congestion, confusion, bring
in dirt and germs—all taboo to
hospitals, which cherish cleanli
ness, order and quiet.
Many medical authorities
claim the increased number of
patients in hospitals today, and
their swelling visitors’ list, are
making the problem more seri
ous than ever.
Greater Usage
And, according to the Health
Insurance Institute, people in
United States are relying more
on hospitals than ever before.
During the last 11 years, says
the Institute, while the nation’s
civilian resident population was
rising 18 per cent, the increase
in beds in voluntary hospitals in
this country was only four per
cent. At the same time, the in
crease in hospital admissions
was 33 per cent.
An informal Institute check of
some of New York City’s larger
hospitals indicates that many
hospital administrators believe
the visiting problem has reach
ed a critical stage.
“It’s getting so,” said one
official, “that it is often difficult
for our doctors and nurses to
get their work done.”
Another administrator pointed
out that the patients themselves
seem unable to cope with the
heavy visitor load.
They are at the mercy of any
one who walks in, he said, yet
few patients will chance offend
ing a visitor by asking him to
leave, though physically uncom
fortable and overtired.
On heavy visiting days—Sun-
over 6,000 new major industrial developments
since 1950. These called for an investment by
business of more than $914 billion (much of it
spent nearby) and provided some 360,000 job
opportunities in the Southern-served South.
Thursday, January 9, 1969
day is usually the heaviest
individual setbacks and general
restlessness are often reported
by patients and traced to tod
many visitors or visits that
lasted too long.
Even patients with np visitors,
hospital officials report, suffer
from increased noise, dirt,
and invasion of privacy caused
by other patients’ visitors.
Educate Public
Two hospitals in Topeka,
Kans.—Stormont-Vail and St.
Francis—took radical steps last
year to ease the situation.
They undertook a widescale
program to educate the public
about unnecessary hospital visits.
Through a series of news
articles, posters and pamphlets,
they punched home this point:
“Before visiting the hospital,
anyone truly concerned about
the welfare of a patient should
ask himself (and the patient’s
family): ‘Will my going to the
hospital really help? Or would
it be more considerate to visit
the patient when he is back
home and better able to enjoy
company’?”
Thinking Process
Hospital officials make it
clear that they do not believe in
prohibiting visitors—they mere
ly want to thin them out.
Hospital care has changed,
they say. Today, shorter ’ stays"
make visitors less necessary for
patient morale.
Most patients stay only a few
days, receive intensified care
while hospitalized, and do most
of their recuperating. at home.
Helping to make this possible is
modern insurance,. such as in
surance company major medical
policies. This coverage toward
medical expenses both in and
out of hospitals, has mad?
home recuperation easier on th?
family budget. Today, over
million Americans own this typfe
of health insurance protection.':
