Unemployment climbs amid calls for relief and policy shift
AFL head Meany warned unemployment could hit 10 per cent by July as CBS interview urged more public works and tax relief. Government data showed January unemployment at 8.2 percent near wartime highs, with workforce near 91 million today. Meany sought 6 percent mortgage rates, while Rep. Reuss favored lowering toward 7 or 8 percent. A Joint Economic Committee report blamed taxation as a key drag, noting rising tax burdens and higher Social Security taxes. Auto industry faced a large backlog into 1975 models. Jury selection begins in Vernon Johnson murder case in Arkansas, with prior mistrials.
