2The Daily Tar HeelFriday, August 29, 1980 1 T .-nr o i 'y W vw' jt 1 f u u U i- aw n mai::; ancona Staff Writer -' For the first time since the 1975 recession, North Carolina's unemployment rate has' surpassed the national level, but UNC graduates have not been affected by the current recession, a University official said this week. "The market has net been as good as students would like," said J.M. Galloway, director of University Placement Services. He said he would like to see more placements, but in relation to the rest of the country, UNC graduates have done well in securing jobs. Galloway said seniors should start preparing their resumes for companies which will begin recruiting at UNC in September. The state's 8.1 percent "unemployment rate for July was 0.2 percent higher than the national figure. Officials attribute the higher jobless rate to the increasing scarcity of student jobs, plant layoffs in the 'furniture, textile and apparel industries and reduced work schedules at large manufacturing plants across the state. A state official said the figures may be misleading, however, because instead of the customary one-week layoff of some workers, this year there was a two-week layoff. Dave Garrison, assistant director of research at the N.C. Employment Security Commission said the unemployment figures in July were calculated during the second week of layoffs, which dramatically increased the monthly figure. Garrison also said the current recession and high interest rates have directly affected the unemployment rate- in North Carolina. Because of the high interest rates, the construction industry has been especially hard hit. . Officials have said a bright spot in the North Carolina employment field was in the nonmanufacturing and agricultural industries. Doth experienced increases in their working forces, with agriculture adding 43,000 men to its ranks. Garrison said the high unemployment trend will not continue and estimated the figure for August will drop to the June level of 7.4 percent. He also said there may be seasonal jumps in the rate. r r"" r" t kj?
