The average monthly check ' to such workers in this county is $21.29. As of June 30, 1949, a total of 1713 retired workers were^on the ! benefit rolls in the area, of which 1 63 were in this county. Only workers who have quarters from J January 1, 1937, the effective date, to the date they attain age 65, i are eligible for benefits upon re- ( tirement from covered employment. The average payment to all ? retired workers in the area is ] $21.87 per month. According to D. W. Lambert, i Manager of the Asheville office, i benefit payments are lower in this section because many work- < ers are not employed full time in self-employment, and ottfer jobs ] do not count in figuring benefits, i Lower wage rates are also a factor, when compared with other sections of the nation.

Estimates in the table are based on the expected number of pupils for each State. The Bureau of Labor Statistics prepared estimates of public day school enrollments for each State up to 1960. The estimates take into account the number of births through 1948, forecasts of births through 1953, the trend for children to stay in school longer, and interstate migration. In determining the number of aditional teachers needed each year in each State, the increase in enrollments was calculated and then applied a ratio of 30 pupils per teacher in elementary schools and 25 pupils per teacher in high schools.
