Activity in the manufacturing sector continues to advam* as mea.sured 'by recent movements in manufacturing man-hours (to tal hours workcMl in the manu facturing sector in a m'mtli). Man-hours worked rose at an an nual rate of 7.2 percent during June and were: 5.2 percent ahead ot last year’s level. The average manufacturing wcukweek remain ed strong in .relation to recent months but unchanged from May’s reporting of 40.6 hour.;. As a ma,jor indication of .the restoration of economic well-be ing in the state, recent advances in total .ggnjonal income have averaged between 7 and 8 pc'r- cient, and manufacturing wages are up 8 perctnt over last year’s levels. Both were considcirably higher than the rate of Inflation on a U. S. average basis as meas ured by a June 1971 to June .1972 increase in the consumer .price index of 2.9 percent. Thursday, August 3, 1972 ACCENT ON AGRICULTURE WHAT NEXT? Many farmers are living in a state of apprehension these days wondering what is going to hap pen to them next. Each time the PHce Commis sion and the Cost of Living Coun cil start talking about rising food prices, farmers expect the worst. During the last week of June, there were a couple of scares. First. President Nixon removed quotas on meat imports for the rest o fthis year 'for the stated purpose of increasing the supply and holding down prices. The second scare came when the President issued another exe cutive order extending price con trols to fruits and vegetables, eggs and seafoods after the first sale. No controls were put on the farm pi’loe of Uiese commodities. The Administration stated that it issued this oixier more to re- ! strict mark-ups adn profit ijiai’- gins tor middlemen and super markets in the food industry, Egg producers, who have bee. .jH sullering from drastically low prices for two years, are puzzlotl as to why their product was in cluded in the now order. There is also some concern that the con trols over fresh produce at tlie distributor level could work their way back to the farm level, as wholesale buyei-s might put in creasing price pressuie on farm ers. Americans new .spend only 15.6 per cent of their after-tax in come on food, which is the low est percentage in the world, ac cording to USDA. This is down from 20 per cent in 1960. Why then the price control gimmick? It’s an election year and consumers outnumber farm ers. Apparently neither the Ad ministration or Congress is will ing to lace up to the real causi* of irtflatlon and high prices- ex cess government spending. ’66 ’67 ’68 ’69 ’70 ’71 ^ ’72 ^ N.

Upward Trend In Economy The North Carolina econewny' rebounded in June following a slight dip In May. During June, tlip movement cf most major ■ s'.ate eccncmic indicators contin-: ued to reinforce the conclusion tliat the state’s economy is now. well launched on an e.xpaasion-. ary course. j The Wachovia North Carolina: Bu.sine.ss Index, a comprehen.sive! measure cf the overall level ol. economic activi.ty in the .state, I rose at an annual rate of 7.2 per-1 cent during the month to a re- j cerd bigh level of 122.8 in rela-1 tion to its 1967 ba.se period. June 'brought the largest Jump! in total non-farm employment in ■ the state aince January. Manu-i facturing employment rase for: the eighth consecutive month' and gains were registered in | both durable and ncxn-durahle goods industries. Jobs in the state’s furniture, chemical, and paper industries continued to ad vance. Emiployment in tobacco, textile, and food products indus tries however has remained es sentially stable in recent months. Trade employment has remain ed relatively flat since the be ginning cl the year; neverthe less, it has hovered around re cord high levels. Meanwhile, em ployment in .the state’s service in dustries cxwitinues ' to shosv strcnvth and government cmplo-y- ment .showed a .particularly rapid adv ance of 2 percent on a season ally adjusted basis during June. The state’s unemployment rate remained unchanged at 3.2 per cent for the 'm-onth and near the historically 'low levels achieved during the height of the business expansion cf the 60’s. On an actual basis, there were 20,000 persons employed in June -who did not have jobs a year ago in- j A highlight for the month wa.s new car sales which remained particularly strong and -weire highest of any month on record except November 1971. New truck sales have also continued to edge upward since the beginning of; the year.

For the 'first half of the year, bank debits were 21 percent higher than the comparable .period cf 1971. Areas showing above average gains in spending for the first hall of the year were the Wilmington SMSA (plus 31 ptreent), the Charlotte SMSA (plus 30 percent), the Hickory SMSA (plus 22 percent), and the Durham SMSA (plus 21 percent).

'Nevertheless, 1972 .will be a record year for residential construction in North 'Carolina. .All cf these developments give rise to an optimistic foireoast of continued economic growth ex pansion for the state’s economy during the last half of the year. The outlook is particularly en couraging in light of the fact that inventory building is 'boein- ning to increase (more rapidly than t has in rtcentm onths. This should be supported 'by the ac celerating recovery in consum er’s willingnes.-; to buy .which Is now .being apparenfTiletail sales should continue to gain momwT- tum at a projected plus 15 percent annual ratt, and new car and truck .sales should continue to do well.
