Unemployment Puzzle Grows As Labor Dept Reports July Losses
Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg notes a 400000 drop in unemployment in July but a concurrent 200000 fall in employment deepening the unemployment puzzle. The seasonally adjusted rate holds near 63 percent for eight straight months as automation and teen labor entry keep joblessness high. Total unemployment July 3140000, with 68499000 employed, about 200000 fewer than June. Unemployment remains the prime domestic problem.
