Unemployment Rate Up
RALEIGH - The total
unemployment rate in
creased to 8.7 per cent in
May moderately above
April’s 8.2 per cent, ac
cording to figures an
nounced today by Glenn R.
Jemigan, Chairman of the
North Carolina Em
ployment Security Com
mission (ESC). The rate
represents 255,800 jobless
state residents.
Jemigan said, “In 1975,
comparable unemployment
rates were recorded, and
after a high in March of that
year, a steady decline
followed. In May 1982,
however, the level rose
above the May 1975 rate of
8.4 per cent and may con
tinue to rise unless
economic conditions im
prove significantly.” .
The national unadjusted
rate of unemployment
dropped in May to 9.1 per
cent from April’s 9.2 per
cent.
Jemigan said, “Tbe rise
in North Carolina’s
unemployment rate as well
as the increase in the labor
force is primarily due to the
numbers of students now
seeking work either per
manently or for the sum
mer. We have added 30
youth coordinators in our
offices across the state as a
special supplement to youth
employment.”
Manufacturing jobs
overall showed a net loss of
3,500 jobs as declines were
experienced in both durable
and non - durable goods.
Most losses occurred in the
categories of furniture and

fixtures, electrical
machinery and other
durable goods. Non -
durable goods sectors which
lost were: tobacco
manufacturers, textile mill
products, paper and allied,
and printing, publishing and
allied. •
The only decreased in
nonmanufacturing jobs
occurred in finance, in
surance and real estate as
well as government. Jer
nigan explained, “As school
systems cease operations
for the summer, many
support personnel become
unemployed temporarily or
permanently.”
On the positive side,
construction, trade and
service division showed
modest gains again in May.
The average hourly
earnings of production
workers in manufacturing
in North Carolina were 86.28
in mid - May unchanged
from mid - April and up 44
cents from May 1981.
The average weekly hours
worked by North Carolina’s
production workers were
37.6 in mid - May, up 0.3
hours from the mid - April
average and down 2 hours
from the average in May
1961. ESC suggests that
employers continue trying
to sustain operations during
the economic crises by
reducing hours worked,
maintaing staff and
decreasing inventories.

Letter To The Editor
To the Editor:
I was dismayed, but ndl
surprised, that Senator'
Helms and his clone/ 1
Senator East, voted against
extension of the Voting
Rights Act. Other southern
senators seem to have had
no problem in voting for the
Act, and even the President
favored a somewhat
watered down version.
We have come to expect
this kind of radical right
wing bigotry from Mr.
Helms, who tells us he wants
smaller government (who
doesn’t), but with most of
the cuts to be made at the
expense of the disad
vantaged poor and
minorities. He espouses the
celestial pipe - line
preaching of the electronic
evangelists, while pushing
the nuclear brinksmanship
created by trillion dollar
military excesses. Mr.
Helms sponsors a bill to ban
all abortions, but wants to
eliminate funds for family
planning, thus regressing to
the death - dealing days of
back alley abortions. He
supports the environment -
raping policies of Secretary
Watt, opposes legal services
for the poor, and favors
gutting the food stamp and
related programs, ignoring
the disastrous part played
by Reaganomics in greatly
enlarging the need for such
assistance.
North Carolinians should
be embarrassed and
ashemed to be
“represented’’ in
Washington by this self -
righteous _ and grossly in
sensitive senator. I’m sure
he has a strong following
among members of the
Congressional Club and
assorted zealots. But the
rest of us should do all we
can to remove the pompous
Mr. Helms from the U.S.
Senate in 1984. It could be
North Carolina’s
quadricentennial gift to the
United States.
