Senator Moss also joined a group of 31 senators in 1969 in sponsoring similar legislation. That bill was introduced because of the dramatic increase in steel imports from approximately 1.5 million tons in 1958 to almost 18 million tons in 1968. However, a 1969 voluntary agreement by steel industries in Europe and Japan to limit their imports seemed to lessen the need for legislation.

A reduction of 729 in continuing claims brought the weeks total in this category to 8,758, or 2.97 per cent of all workers covered by state and federal unemployment insurance laws. The insured jobless ratio for the week ended July 3 was 3.18 percent and for the week of July 11, 1970, 2.48 percent. Jobs made available totaled 861, compared to 1,013 for the week before.

Teacher shortages which have plagued schools across the nation or almost thirty years have suddenly and dramatically been replaced by teacher surpluses, to a study prepared by Utah Foundation, the private research organization. The Foundation analysis was based on a report of the State Board of EdStatus of ucation entitled, Teacher Personnel in Utah ac-:ordi- ng 1970-7- 1. The change from shortage to surplus has been brought about by a steady increase in the supply of trained teachers and a sharply reduced demand for new teachers. The Foundation points out that the teacher surplus in Utah will continue to grow in the years immediately ahead. The study notes that the demand for new teachers in Utah has resulted from two main factors: (1) teachers needed to fill vacancies when teachers leave the system and (2) teachers needed to fill new positions created to meet enrollment growth andor reduced class size. In the past both of these factors have been important elements in the demand for new teachers. At one time, the total number of teaching positions in the state was rising by approximately 600 per year. Last year, however, there were actually 70 fewer teaching positions in the state than there were in the year before. As a result, the only employment opportunities for new teachers last year were for those who replaced teachers who left the system. Coupled with the sharply reduced demand for new teachers has been an increased supply of potential teachers. The number of certificated teachers graduating from Utah colleges has nearly doubled over the past decade. In addition, new teachers in Utah are recruited from among (1) former teachers who wish to return to teaching, (2) teachers whp move to Utah from other states, and (3) graduates of colleges located outside Utah. Foundation analysts note that a total of 3,160 certificated teachers were graduated from Utah colleges. Of these, 1,041, or 33 were able to secure teaching positions in Utah. In the early and middle 1960s, more than 50 of received the teacher-graduatUtah. in teaching positions In addition to the 1,041 recent es graduates who were employed n Utah last year, Utah schools employed 219 teachers who had taught the previous year in an- other state, and 439 other teachers (former teachers who returned to the classroom, graduates of colleges, and former graduates of Utah colleges who accepted a teaching position for the first time). Altogether, a total of 1,699 new teachers were employed by Utah schools in 1970-7This total is well below the number of new teachers employed in Utah during the four previous school years. out-of-sta- te 1. Goal of Jobs Program Gains J .P. OKeefe has announced that the National Alliance of Businessmens (NAB summer youth program is in full swing. We have presently 306 job 106 from pledges pledginy companies. Our goal was to have 350 jobs filled by the end of June. he said. Mr. OKeefe reported the program thus far has placed 128 disadvantaged youth. Our outlook for this summer is very encouraging, he added. We also hape an experimental work study program which runs for one year. This involves high school students in their second or junior year. They are given 15 hours of work per week during school and 39 hours per week during summer months. This program is operated with the Neighborhood Youth Corps (NYC) and the students are paid through this federally funded program. However the employer pays 67 cents to NYC for every hour the trainee works, he added. Under this program the employer doesnt pay employee tax nor is the employer obligated to pay workmans compensation cr industrial insurance.
