80 Million Jobs Boost Seen in 10 Years
Secretary Weeks told an economic mobilization conference that the U S economy could create 80 million jobs and raise annual production to 600 billion dollars within ten years. He urged business to lead the recovery, saying government should be a stepping stone, not a stumbling block, with Eisenhower to address the next day. The forecast envisions population rising to about 205 million by 1968, with civilian and military employment expanding to over 90 million and per capita income reaching about 2 920 dollars.
