McNutt Underestimates V E Day Jobless Rise
A War Manpower Commission official said the earlier V E Day jobless forecast of 2,000,000 was overstated by at least 30 percent. Current figures show no more than 1,400,000 job seekers, with 1,100,000 in June and 630,000 in March. The official cited delayed munitions cutbacks and job absorption by agriculture, trade, and services as reasons for the lower unemployment.
