With an expanding coal industry and a healthy employment Employment up... Job Service gives bright outlook forced the agency to cut back on staff at a time when it could provide valuable aid to a growing number of job seekers. In Price, two Job Service positions were dropped in October and two more will probably have to be eliminated during the coming year, Anderson said. One outlook which bodes well for Carbon and Emery counties is continuation of growth in mining. Kent Rimmasch, Job Service labor economist said mining employment should grow faster than that of any other industry in the state during 1981. Adjusting for mining strikes.. .produces a year-ove- r growth rate close to 7.5 percent, Rimmasch said. Growth in construction, another heavy employer in Carbon and Emery counties, will depend on what happens with interest rates, Anderson said. Residential construction is depressed throughout the state, but construction, which fuels the local economy, showed only a slight drop in employment this year. Anderson said gross taxable sales have held up well in Carbon County, particularly in the Price area. Carbon County showed an 7.4 percent increase in that figure during the four quarters ending June 30 of this year. In Price it was 11.9 percent. However, that pales in comparison with Emery Countys gross taxable sales. They showed a 35.2 percent change in the second quarter of 1981 over the same period in 1980. Despite having weathered a coal miners strike and endured a sputtering national economy, Carbon County can boast a relatively bright employment picture, Utah Job Service figures show. According to preliminary figures released Tuesday, the unemployment rate for countys seasonally-adjuste- d December is 4.5 percent, compared to 6.1 percent for the entire state. The rate showed a slight decrease from December 1980, when it was nearly 4.8 percent. Partly accounting for the improvement is a 3.6 percent increase in nonagricultural wage and salary jobs. Dennis M. Anderson of the Department of Employment Securitys Price office said the growth of those jobs had been underestimated at about 12 percent. Hard data collected throughout the year showed the actual growth rate to be about 2 percent, he said. Anderson said the growth would probably continue here for some time to come. Another good indicator is the fact that the number of unemployment claims has decreased, Anderson noted. Last month the civilian labor force grew by about 1.1 percent. Anderson said most of the laborers are moving in from Utah Valley and other parts of the Wasatch Front. He added that some come from out of state, often from areas in the east where mines have been closed down. He said it is unfortunate that federal budget cuts have Nothing held bach mean everything!
