One Front War Economy Seen To Limit Jobless Rise
Washington reports a shift to a single front war economy has modestly raised unemployment, with about 160000 more out of work since mid April, totaling roughly 950600. Officials predict unemployment could climb to about 2000000 by August as more production shifts wind down and veteran releases increase. Nonwar jobs and women reentering the labor market offset some losses while a slow discharge of veterans limits the rise.
