The piece notes past surveys and compares unemployment trends from four to eight percent, warning of possible higher unemployment.
The article reports on a federal spending mystery with billions not spent in fiscal 1977.

Agriculture Secretary Bergland wavering on announcing an acreage set-aside to cut 1978 corn production. He said a set-aside depends on whether the country risks an overrun of corn as harvests reach a record 6.3 billion bushels and domestic and world demand shift. Decision pushed past the October 12 crop report.
