Unemployment costs rise in Montana in April
Montana’s unemployment last month totaled 571 320 dollars, 54 690 above April 1948. Commission chairman Carroll M. Stewart noted 250 000 of the total was funded by the federal government for veterans under the Readjustment Allowance Act, which expires in July. Nearly one fifth of payments went to Flathead county residents, with high jobless rates blamed on weathered logging shutdowns and a Hungry Horse project influx. He warned there is no local labor shortage and moving to the project area offers no advantage.
