The extension of unemployment benefits leaves tens of thousands with exhausted eligibility as the economy lingers in high joblessness. Labor figures show 287,000 used up benefits by last June with 2.47 million projected for 1976. Some turn to welfare or bankruptcy, while retirees may draw other income.
The survey shows 60 percent of the unemployed are men with many seniors over 65 facing harder job search. White and nonwhite shares reflect benefit exhaustion and job types, with New Jersey seeing sharp rises in benefit expirations and welfare caseloads. Federal figures show about 2.9 million on 26 weeks, 929 thousand on extended state funds, and one million on another 26 week program. The Ford administration opposes further extensions. Independence Missouri is cited as pioneer gateway, and Cyprus Crete geography and Mississippi delta shifts are noted in passing.
