Dr. Wayne S. Montgomery,
Asheville physician and mayor of the
city from 1969 to 1971, became chair
man of the UNC-A Foundation's
Board of Directors Oct. 22 at the
group's annual meeting for election of

taxation," to help the university grow

Employment Depends On Right Career
By Mike Ochsenreiter
Student Editor
According to forecasts recently
released by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, employment prospects will
be mixed in the 1980s. Job prospects
are bright indeed for people with the
right skills in the right communities,
but there might be some disappoint
ment ahead for those who are not able
to be flexible about where they live
and what kind of work they do.
For men and women fresh out of
college, the outlook is for tough sled
ding in many career fields. Until the
late 1960s there were more jobs for
college graduates than there were
graduates to fill them. Since then,
however, graduates have faced keen
competition from all quarters for the
jobs they wanted, and experts expect
the trend to persist through the next
decade.
By the numbers, there will be ap
proximately 1.6 million new jobs each
year from the anticipated growth in
the economy. In addition, 3.9 million
openings are predicted each year as
workers die, retire or quit jobs for
other reasons. The total of roughly 5.5
million yearly job openings just about
equals the number of people expected
to enter the work force each year in
the next decade.
