ESC Officiais Say State's
Economy Has Tightened
RALEIGH - During the
first six months of the 1980
fiscal year, 4.11 North
Carolinians registered for
jobs at local offices of the
North Carolina Employ
ment Security Commission
for every job opening the
commission received.
During the comparable
period of the 1979 fiscal
year, there were 3.67 appli
cants for every job opening
received. Commission of
ficials say the increase in
the number of applicants
per job opening indicates
that the state's economy
has tightened.
During the first six
months of fiscal 1980,
331,160 people registered
for jobs at the 89 local and
branch Job Service offices
in North Carolina, while
315,001 registered during
the first half of 1979. But
the number of job openings
received by the commis
sion fell from 85,853 during
the first half of fiscal 1979
to only 78,470 during the
first half of this fiscal year,
according to statistics com
piled by the commission's
Bureau of Employment Se
curity Research.
The fact that 16,000 more
North Carolinians regis
tered to apply for work
while there were 7,000 few
er job openings received
during the comparable
periods may indicate that
people who have not looked
for work recently have re
entered the labor force,
sa<d David Garrison, as
sistant director of the
bureau. The figures may
mean, for example, that
more married women are
looking for work to sup
plement family incomes
while their husband are
laid off or placed on
shorter work weeks he
said. At the same time
employers may have be
come more hesitant about
filling vacancies because of
economic uncertainties
Garrison said.
On March 31, 1979,
161,147 people had active
job applications on file at
Job Service offices, while
there were 12,368 unfilled
job·. On March 31, I960,
there were 186.474 active
applications and 11,120 un
filled jobs.
The job squeeze appears
to have hit all occupations
equally, Garrison said.
During the comparable six
month periods, the number
of registered applicants in
creased in all nine occupa
tional grouping, while the
number of openings listed
with Job Service offices fell
in eight of the nine group
ings.
There were 73,555 regis
tered applicants for cleri
cal and sales occupations
during the first half of
fiscal 1980, compared to
68,654 registered appli
cants during the compar
able period in the 1979
fiscal year. But the number
of clerical and sales open
ings received by Job Ser
vice offices fell from 18,124
to 16,831. The category in
cludes secretaries, clerks,
bookkeepers, telephone
operators and sales agents
and representatives.
The number of registered
applicants in service oc
cupations increased from
46,433 to 51,676 during the
comparable six-month
periods, while the number
of listed job openings re
ceived declined from 14,734
»/. to ecn
In miscellaneous occupa
tions, which include truck
and bus drivers, packagers
and laborers, the number
of registered applicants in
creased from 39,516 during
the first half of fiscal 1979
to 43,444 in the comparable
fiscal 1980 period. But Job
openings received . during
the six-month periods fell
from 11,335 to 9,568.
The number of appli
cants registering for struc
tural work occupations,
which include construction
industry jobs, increased
from 35,166 to 41,979. But
the number of structural
work job openings received
fell from 14,265 to 12,037.
The only increase in job
openings received during
the comparable six-month
periods was in agriculture,
fishery and forestry occu
pations, the smallest of the
nine maior occupational
groupings. The number of
job openings increased
from 2,577 to 3,286 while
the number of registered
applicants during the com
parable periods increased
from 8,620 to 8,778.
Job Service offices filled
5,000 fewer jobs during the
first half of this fiscal year
than during the first half of
fiscal 1979.
