By ROBERT KOENIG Unemployment in Madison County increased for the third consecutive month in July, according to statistics released last week by the North Carolina Employment Security Commission (ESC). The July figures showed the county's jobless rate in creased by nine-tenths of one percent during the month, to ten percent. The increase marked the first time since Aug., 1983 that the county unemployment rate was in double digits. The closing of the Melville Shoe Co. plant in Hot Springs in June raised the county's jobless figures to 9.1 percent in June. ESC officials could provide no explanation for the additional increase in unemployment. In announcing statewide figures earlier in the month, ESC chairman Glenn Jernigan pointed to temporary layoffs in the textile and furniture indutries for the in crease. Statewide, unemployment stood at 6.5 percent during the month. The county's 10 percent unemployed figure represents an estimated 900 jobless workers, up 90 from the previous month. The opening of the Banner House plant in the old Hot Springs skating rink will not have a significant effect on Aug. figures, ESC officials said. The plant expects to hire 25 workers to start operations. Neighboring counties reported little change during July. Buncombe and Yancey counties saw unem ployment increase slightly while Haywood County reported a slight decline in unemployment. _ nvestors B
