Jobless rate rising and discouraged workers grow
The department reports 1.1 million more discouraged workers in the third quarter with total unemployment at 7.966 million in September. White adult women account for most of full time job declines and large numbers left the labor force, shrinking it by 370,000. Unemployment by group rose: adult men 6.2 percent, adult women 6.8 percent, teens 19.3 percent, whites 6.5 percent, blacks and minorities 15.1 percent. Economists expect little near term improvement despite Reagan's plan to create jobs, with effects not felt until early 1982.
