Minnesota Unemployment Fund Seen Near Low, Looming 1965 Challenge
Minnesota's unemployment compensation fund is projected to fall to about 21 million dollars by year end, threatening a major 1965 legislative issue. The fund has declined 16 million in two years and will erode further without law revisions. Frank T. Starkey cites that two large activities, though only 8.6 percent of covered workers, account for nearly 38 percent of benefits, urging changes to spread costs more fairly and close loopholes that grant unintended benefits.
