The tot al number of work
ers now covered by the $2 30
minimum will be 5 i million.
WASHINGTON - The
federal minimum wage increas
ed to $230 an hour for nearly
14 million workers on Jan. 1, n vr , ? .
the . S4. Department of Labor if t Workers brought under the
announced. ,f)proteutiov0ft.the Fair Labor
Of the almost 14 million
workers covered by the new
niinimu, more than 2 million
will receive the hourly in
crease. Tlie rest of the workers
covered by the wage increase
are already earning the $2.30
mininium or more.
Employment categories by
the Jan. 1, change include:
laundry and dry clean
ing establishments;
construction enterprises
The first problem for
black youth in attempting to
acquire jobs is racism in Ameri- -ca.
The second is their lack of
a quality education. These two
giants we gunning down too
many of ouiiyoung people.
There .'is hope for the well
educated and traired thinkers
of the future.
- f In 1982, enrollment in
engineering schools across the
countr' will have minority stu
dents equal to their : propor-
. tions in the nations' popula
tion. There are no shortages
of jobs for engineers.
We need more black doc
tors, dentists, nurses, admin
istrators and advanced business
degree people. The nation
' needs nv -re plumbers, welders,
electricians, carpenters, crafts
men, contractors, police offi
cers, truck drivers, crane bperar
tors, typists, stenographers, se-
, curity guards, and seemingly
'thousands of more trained
people.
The fact ?s that while the
- job ma.ket in general is ex
panding, for unskilled and little
educated workers the job mar-
' ket has been in a steady de
cline for years. A look at dis-
, tributioh of income to indivi-
' duals shows a decided decrease
in the inequality of incorrjc dis
tribution in America.
In 1947, the top five per
cent of all individuals received
33 per cent of the income, in
1975 the figure was only 19
per cent. At the lower end of
the sczle, the poorest 20 per
ivnt in 1947 received 2.9
per cent of all income going to
individuals, and in 1975, this
share had risen to four per
cent.
This means tfiat blacks had
best keep pace with the
U ARN AND EARN . s, .
changes in income distribution
in the population or slip even
further behind. .
There seems to be emerg
ing three rew district income
grrips in America, the older
retired pension person, the
matured married female, and
the educated 'young adult.
These groups have the extra
money , available in today's
economy;
- Blacks, about 12 per
cent of the population,
account for 18 per cent of high
school dm;: -outs. Howard Uni
versity Institute for the study
of Educational Policy,
researchers found that in tie
fall of 1974, there were 10.3
million, high school drop
outs in the age range of the
college availability pool.
-The action taken tonight by the Durham City tfoari f
Education is a vote of confidence, hope a.- J anticipation in ll
leadership of the Superintendent. -
- The support and cooperation from the employees of th
Durham City Schools, patrons, and citizens of Durham have
been gratifying and sustaining to the Superintendent during
the past 18 months. a

checklist that suggests things
parents should look for in a
day care home to decide whe
ther it is a safe and healthy
place fox vounn children.
. "The . day care homes
checkUst," Mrs. Davis said,
"is an attenqpt to provide for
parents what our state day
care licensing law over
looks. State law ignores these
operations, even though they
provide a substantial amount :
of the child care given in
Durham County and in the
stato. Since responsibilities
for ensuring " that these
operations meet minimal
Standards is left up to parents,
this brochure was developed
to help them make that deci
sion" she added,.
