EMPLOYMENT
(Continued from Page 8)
The Secretary noted that the
lowest unemployment rates prevail
amongs married men — that i
same rate as other groups, but find
it much more difficult to get jobs
among the major family bread
winners. Married men had an un
employment rate of a little over
3 percent—well below the national
average.
He pointed out that Negroes
have a higher unemployment rate
than their white colleagues. They
make up a little over 10 percent
of the labor force but over 20
percent of the unemployed. Mr.
Mitchell stressed the importance
of raising the level of education
and skills among the Negroes, and
of ending job discrimination on
the basis of color.
He also pointed out that the
unemployment rate is very high
among young persons who drop
out of school before getting their
high school diplomas.
Studies show that these drop
outs have unemployment rates
double and triple those of high
school graduates. He said it is im
portant that young people stay in
school until they graduate.
Secretary Mitchell noted the
persistent unemployment prevail
ing in certain areas of the country.
He called attention to the fact
that most of these areas have been
experiencing high levels of un
employment in so-called ‘‘depress
ed areas" was due to long-range
forces such as technological
change, depletion of natural re
sources, etc. He urged measures
to enable localities to conduct pro
grams which would broaden the
base of employment opportunities.
Mr. Mitchell pointed out that
older workers were experiencing

Gary’s home borders on the re
cently flooded Hillsborough River.
His mother, Arline Wilhite, theor
unemployment at just about the
same rate as other groups, but it
much more difficult to get jobs
and make up a disproportionate
share of the 800,000 unemployed
who have been jobless for 15 weeks
or more.

NEW '61 CHEVY CORUIR
More space ...
more spunk
and wagons, too!
The newest car in America: the CORVAIR 700 LAKE
WOOD 4-DOOR STATION WAGON.
CORVAIR 700 CLUB COUPE. Like all coupes and
sedans, it has a longer range fuel tank.
CORVAIR 700 4-DOOR SEDAN. Provisions for heat
ing ducts are built right into its Body by Fisher.
Here’s the new Chevy Corvair for ’61 with
a complete line of complete thrift cars.
To start with, every Corvair has a budget*
pleasing price tag. And Corvair goes ou
from there to save you even more. With
extra miles per gallon . . . quicker-than*
ever cold-start warmup so you start saving
sooner ... a new extra-cost optional
heater that warms everyone evenly. Riding
along with this extra economy: more room
inside for you, more room up front for
your luggage (sedans and coupes have
almost 12% more usable trunk space).
And our new wagons? You’ll love them—
think they’re the greatest thing for
families since houses. The Lakewood
Station Wagon does a man-sized job with
cargo, up to 68 cubic feet of it. The Green*
brier Sports Wagon you’re going to have
to see—it gives you up to 175.5 cubic
feet of space for you and your things.
Corvair’s whole thrifty lineup gets its pep
from a spunkier 145-cu.-in. air-cooled rear
engine. Same rear-engine traction, same
smooth 4-wheel independent-suspension
ride. See the polished and refined 1961
Corvair first chance you get at your
Chevrolet dealer’s.
Spare tire is in the rear in coupes and
sedans—leaving more luggage space up
front.
Even middle-seat passengers sit pretty,
thanks to Corvair’s practically flat floor.
Now in production—the GREENBRIER
^ SPORTS WAGON with up
to twice as much room as
ordinary wagons (third seat
optional at extra cost).
