Signs of Leveling-Off in Unemployment
The Federal Reserve Board reported signs of a leveling-off in unemployment in its monthly bulletin. Since February there was a slight drop in those unemployed four weeks or less, suggesting layoffs may be less frequent and seasonally adjusted unemployment could be leveling. April still showed a rise for the ninth straight month, with the rate at 7% of the labor force, and May figures pending.
Unemployment trends show higher April job losses and female participation
The report notes April showed sharp job losses compared with earlier postwar downturns. It cites lower hiring across industry and a 5 percent drop in construction from a year prior. Trade employment fell about 350000 from its 1957 peak while the labor force rose by about one million, with two thirds of new workers women. Married women with school-age children increased job seeking to help family incomes during the recession.
