record-hig- h jobless rate six or eight times the national average According to the latest Labor Department figures the highest unemployment is among the Navajo tribe where 80 percent of Indians on the reservation are out of work In the Paiute tribe centered near Cedar City unemployment has reached 45 percent and among Iny dians on the reservation unemployment is up from 50 to 60 percent in the past 18 months Gregory Frazier executive of the National Urban Indian Council said the department puts unemployment of Indians off the reservation at 60 to 80 percent On the Wasatch Front local Indian leaders estimate 40 to 60 perg cent of the Indians are out of work “Times are very tough for the Indian population” said Frazier “We hear on the news about a ten percent unemployment rate and Ute-Oura- that’s terrible — but for Indians its six to eight times that ” He said language is a barrier to many Indians trying to make the transition to urban life and for many Indians “English is still a second language” Richard Haase director of Salt Lake’s Utah Indian Employment Resource Center said his center serve more than 1000 Indians last year and most were unemployed not just seeking a better job In its first year of operation the center has placed 408 people in temporary jobs and most of the Indians seeking help were men The center’s community liasion Thelma Pinecoose said women often seem to adjust to urban life better than men Many Indians are placed in construction jobs and since depression has hit that industry Haase said it is difficult tb find openings Indian women are usually placed in clerical and assistance occupations A move to the city from the reservation doesn’t necessarily improve an Indian’s chances of work according to Harold Lyman Blanding Job Service
