He notes reprogramming 35 million accounts as costly, while NOW criticizes scope and calls for compromise to include both spouses on existing accounts or list names.

Productivity Upturn Signals Hiring Now Across U S Firms
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 2.4 percent rise in output per hour for nonfinancial businesses in early 1974, first increase since 1971, with layoffs slowing and rehiring beginning in California, Michigan, and the Carolinas. Economists expect continued gains as firms use overtime and recall workers rather than new hires, while recess-era unemployment data show declines in recipients of state and emergency benefits.
