Unemployment Record Fails To Tell Full Story numbers than usually occurs after school lets out. By ROSS WILHELM 225 No. 1350 THE STUDENTS will spend 15 hours a week working on One of the central issues in the current political debate is should the nation undertake a crash program to reduce the As the economy continues to expand, however, new entrants into the labor market be will productively When large numbers of new people enter the labor market and start to look for jobs, this can cause the unemployment rate to jump upwards even unemployment rate? The unemployment rate has been at a persistently high level and, in recent months, has tended to rise slightly. employed. THE GREAT danger in further though large numbers of unemployed workers are being hired every day. leaders have been claiming that the unemployment rate indicates the economy is in poor health and needs a major infusion of government spending. The reality is that the unemployment rate today is not a good measure of the economys health. All that the unemhigh persistently ployment rate indicates is that married women and young people are entering the labor market in unprecedented numbers. the economy to provide added jobs a little faster than would normally occur is that the stimulation could easily set off a new wave of inflation and ultimately another reces- DURING JULY and August while the unemployment rate SOME politicians and labor stimulating was rising, almost a half million workers were rehired, and total employment in the economy rose to a record level. The number of married women and young people now looking for work is greater than the economy can quickly absorb. sion. As we have seen in recent years, the risk involved in government stimulation of the economy is that we end up with more unemployed, rather than fewer, and we all end up worse off. Success Rate For Deer Hunt Is Up A Bit From 1975 THIS IS a healthy development for the economy over the long run. The unemployment rate is the percentage of the work force of people over age sixteen who are unemployed and are looking for a job. The rate rose from 7.3 peicent in May to 7.8 percent in July and 7.9 percent in August. Preliminary results of the 1976 general deer season, based on checking station data and projected license sales figures, indicate that this years hunt produced success for 29.2 per cent of the seasons deer hunters. THAT IS a 5.8 per cent improvement in hunter success over the final figures for the 1975 deer season, which was THIS temporary rise simply means that more married wcmen and more young people decided to look for work this summer in larger per cent. Projected figures approximate some 169,600 hunters were afield. The number represents about four percent fewer hunters than during 1975. The breakdown shows 250 approximately 157,350 resident hunters and some 12, nimrods pursued deer during the general 23.4 nt season. The Stars In Skies Of January The winter skies in January, often clear and cold, offer star gazers beautiful nights for the study of the stars and planets. THE projected regular season harvest totals 50,738 deer. Final figures for the 1976 general deer season will be available in February. Distribution of hunters differed somewhat over 1975, due probably to prehunt predictions and publicity. Division of Wildlife Resources information sources predicted that less success was expected m the southwest portion of the state. t THE BIG Dipper is still far down on the horizon but is beginning to move back up into the sky. Morning stars (actually planets of the solar system visible to naked eye) will be Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. THE BRIGHT evening (planet) will be Venus. star Study the stars and you will find it rewarding stimulating. and IN ADDITION, publicity in the southeastern section of Utah tended to shift pressure to other areas. Hunter pressure was shifted northward as a consequence. Preseason predictions identified the northern parts of Utah as the region which would yield the best hunting in 1976 and apparently were influential in directing hunters. REGIONAL harvests appear to correlate closely with preseason predictions. The greatest deviation appears to be the southwestern part of the state where success was not expected to be much, if any, better than 1975. IN SPITE of the decrease pressure in that area, the harvest increased slightly; and the per cent of success went up considerably. The southeastern section showed less hunter pressure but improved hunter success over in 1975. Clearfields master plan and make for suggestions improving and planning for the future.
