Labor Department data show average wage increases easing to about 3 percent in major contracts during the first nine months, with wage-price controls limiting gains. Strikes reduced production losses to 19 days in September, and nine major cities joined the list of sizable unemployment areas while two fell off. Ohio adds Canton and Lorain Axelisia and Youngstown Warren, while South Bend and Terre Haute exit the list. National unemployment sits near six percent of the workforce.
