Employment Situation Is Analyzed
time. For example, almost 1 of
every 2 unemployed in August was
out of work for less than a month.
He said this was not surprising
since a substantial proportion of
the jobless represent persons
temporarily between jobs.
One-fifth of all the unemployed
in August were teenagers, most of
them looking for temporary sum
mer employment between school
terms. Even so, the record this
year for teenagers has been ex
cellent, Mr. Mitchell said. There
were 300,000 more boys and girls
14 to 19 years of age in the labor
force this summer than last sum
mer. But employment also went among the teenagers was absorbed
up by 300,000. In other words, all into jobs.

WASHINGTON, DjC. — Secre
tary of Labor James P. Mitchell
called attention to the prevailing
high level of economic activity in
the United States and the record
total of persons employed.
“The latest figures for August
1960 indicate a total of 68,300,000
Americans at work,” the Secre
tary said. “This was a record for
the month, and more than three
quarters of a million higher than
August a year ago. This means
that 94 out of every 100 workers
had jobs in August.”
Secretary Mitchell also noted
that a total of 3,800,000 were coun
ted as unemployed last month.
“This is a matter of serious con
cern to all of us,” the secretary
said. ‘‘Just as important as the
overall total, however, is the make
up of the unemployed themselves.
To know who are the unemployed
is important if we are to design
programs to help them.”
The Secretary then went on to
point out that a substantial pro
portion of the unemployed are
out of jobs very short periods of

SIXTT-ONEDERFUL CHEVROLET
Here’s the car that reads you loud and
clear—the new-size, yon-size ’61 Chev
rolet. We started out by trimming the
outside size a bit (to give you extra inches
of clearance for parking and maneuvering)
but inside we left you a full measure of
Chevy comfort. Door openings are as
much as 6 inches wider to give feet, knees,
and elbows the undisputed right of way.
And the new easy-chair seats are as much
as 14% higher—just right for seeing, just
right for sitting.
Once you’ve settled inside you’ll have
high and wide praises for Chevrolet’s
spacious new dimensions (in the Sport
Coupes, for example, head room has been
upped as much as 2 inches, and there’s
more leg room, too—front and rear).
Chevy’s new trunk is something else that
will please you hugely—what with its
deep-well shape and bumper-level loading
it holds things you’ve never been able to
get in a trunk before.
Yet, generously endowed as this car is
with spaciousness and clean-etched ele
gance, it holds steadfastly to all the thrifty,
dependable virtues Chevrolet buyers have
come to take for granted. Your dealer’s
the man to see for all the details.
There’s never been a trunk like it before!
The floor’s recessed more than half a foot
and the loading height is as much as 10H
inches lower.
