Payrolls Larger In County Now Despite the fact that In Frank lin County, as In every other section of the country, there Is more unemployment than usual, local payrolls are bigger than ever. The rise In wage scales dur ing the past three years has more than compensated, as far as overall figures go, for the loss caused by unemployment. The facts are disclosed In a new Government report, called County Business Patterns, pre pared by the Census Bureau with the assistance of the So cial Security Administration. It shows that taxable payrolls In Franklin County business)' establishments In the past year .1 came to approximately $5,940, j' 000, as against $4,988,000 Inli 1959, when the previous survey of this type was made. The In- II i crease was 19.1 percent. || It compares with a rise of E i 16.9 percent In the Unltedlj! States. l| The Information was obtained J I from tax reports submitted by 1 1 employers In each of those j i years under the Old Age and! Survivors Insurance program., i The report shows that there I were 2,038 people at work lo- 1 cally, during the tabulation per- ji lod last year, lp non-farm Jobs 1 covered by social security.

A tabulation of the number and | ' kinds of business concerns' in the United states Indicates' that new ones are continually'1 springing Into ?belny* a% ven-!1' turesome people, anxious to be 1 on their own, strike out fori I themselves. The mortality Is heavy. Only ' ? fourth of them survive thei first five years. In some cases! failure Is due to lack of ex perience and, In other cases, to Insufficient financing or to ' severe competition. ' In Franklin County, many new I enterprises are born each year. J A fair proportion. of thern turn out successfully. They fill the I gap left by those that discontinue I for one reason or another. Currently In the county, ac- i cording to the report, there are I 290 non-farm business extab- < llshments with oneor moreem- ( ployees.
