' The December private risoe
aents of 172,394 was a record for
ione month. This Is a gain of 186.1
Pgr eent over December, 1935, when
the public employment offices were
heavily engaged in connection with
the operations of the work program,
and la also, the largest gain over the
same month of the previous year
which has been reported.

"The gain in private employment
over the level for preceding years
is due to the generally improving
