Goldberg Optimistic On Work Situation
Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg said the tight job market should improve in the coming months though heavy unemployment has discouraged many workers especially women and older adults. He noted December unemployment rose to 4.091 million while payrolls fell 882000 as winter slows demand and predicted 1962 gains beyond normal spring upticks. He urged steel industry avoid strikes or stockpiling that could hinder economic expansion and cited steel contracts ending June 30. Maine firms won federal contracts totaling 74.2 million last year, far above 1959 and 1960 totals.
