The U.S. Labor Department's
regional Employment and
Training Administration (ETA) is
completing a survey that will
reflect the job placement activities
of some 309 state employment
service (ES) offices throughout
the eight-state Southeastern
region.
The purpose of the survey is to
insure that placements are being
reported and verified in a
uniform way, according to
William U. Norwood Jr., regional
ETA administrator. "The U.S.
Employment Service has in
troduced a budgeting system that
would give states with better
placement records a proportion
ately greater share of the avail
able funds,” he said. "So, it's
important to both the state and
federal governments that the
reporting system be accurate.”
Norwood pointed out that
numerous revisions have been
made in the past few years to
update reporting requirements,
keyed to a computerized reporting
system. He said the survey results
will be applied, in cooperation
with the state ES agencies, to
improve procedures for the
continuing verification of reported
employment service activities.
The survey consists of contacting
employers who have used the ES,
along with jobseekers whom the
ES has reported as having been
placed in jobs.
The ETA expects to complete
the data collection from Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Mississippi, North and South
Carolina and Tennessee within
the next few weeks and to
analyze and report the results
within a few months. The final
evaluation will help the states
themselves in evaluating their
own practices and level of service
offered job seekers.
If you plan to spend
more than five years
in your new building
YOU
SHOULD
READ
THIS:
The initial cost of a new building
is only one aspect of the total cost
of ownership.
You also have to consider such things
as utilities, maintenance and repairs.
These may not seem important in a
new building but they can really mount up
when a building puts on a few years.
A high quality, professionally built
building may cost you more initially
but it will quite likely cost you less
after just a few years of operation.
If you're thinking about building,
give us a call. We’ll show you
some specific ways you can save money.
And keep saving it for a long time to come

GARDEN TIP
Plant corn and other tall-grow
ing crops on the north side of
the garden so they won't shade
low-growing crops. Here's another
note on corn from Cooperative
Extension Service horticulturists:
You'll get better [Killination and
better production if you plant in
blocks rather than in one or two
long rows.
