New Law Lowers Iowa Unemployment Tax Payments

Ed Murphy reports a new Iowa law will cut unemployment tax payments by about seven million dollars annually. IESC chairman Claude M. Stanley spoke at a Cedar Rapids Chamber luncheon, noting a state reserve of 102.6 million dollars and a rule waiving taxes for firms with reserves at 10 percent of annual payroll. He explained the reserve-based relief scales with the state fund, and that overall unemployment tax years will ease as the fund grows toward 110 million and then halves rates until reserves fall. He credited L. P. Boudreaux for drafting the bill and cited rises in covered employment from 236000 in 1940 to 350000 last year with payroll increasing from 296 million to over 1 billion.
