Los Angeles, Boston will lead in new jobs by year 2000, study says

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Sun Belt remains the focus of the nation’s growth, but a new study has good news for older industrial areas too, projecting that California and Massachusetts will lead the nation in new jobs for the rest of the century. “The U.S. population continues to move South and West, but the extreme growth slowdown and even declines in population of many northern industrial states have ended,” the National Planning Association reported Tuesday. The new report by Nestor E. Terleckyj projects strong growth in goods production, manufacturing and construction but little gain in agriculture or mining in the coming years. Declines in the price of oil will limit growth in the previously booming energy production regions, Terleckyj says, but “continued internationalization of the American economy will add further increments of growth in the financial, trading and corporate headquarters on both the East and West Coasts.” Los Angeles, the rapidly growing area that the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis expects to surpass New York as the nation’s largest metro area by the year 2000, is expected to add the most jobs, the private, non-profit Planning Association projects. Ranking second in job gain is expected to be the Boston metro area, which, like some rapidly growing parts of California, is a center of technological development in recent years. The study anticipates Los Angeles will add just over 1 million new jobs for a total of 5.3 million in 2000. The report says Boston will add nearly

Projected job gains in Indiana are listed

WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Planning Association says Indianapolis should gain nearly 110,000 jobs by the year 2000, while the Elkhart-Goshen area should add nearly 21,000. No Indiana cities were included among the 30 areas with the largest job growth between 1985 and the year 2000. Los Angeles was expected to gain the most jobs. The new report projects strong growth in goods production, manufacturing and construction but little gain in agriculture or mining in the coming years. The Indiana cities included in the report and the change in jobs were: Bloomington, 66,300 jobs in 2000, up from 52,300 in 1985. Elkhart-Goshen, 118,500 jobs in 2000, up from 97,700.

Canadians leave UAW ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - United Auto Workers convention delegates have ratified the secession of 120,000 Canadian members, bringing UAW membership to its lowest level in 25 years. The bitter separation dragged on nrom December 1964, when Canadian union chief Robert White led his members out of the UAW, until five days ago when the two sides signed a document on how to divide assets and strike funds. The document was ratified Tuesday by an overwhelming show of hands during the third das of the UAW’s six-day triennial constitutional convention. The convention today was electing the union’s top officers, including President Owen Bieber who was unopposed for a second three-year term.

755,000 new jobs, followed by Anaheim, Calif.; San Jose, Calif.; and Phoenix, Ariz. Overall, there are expected to be just over 26 million new jobs for Americans by 2000, with more than 12 million of them in 30 metropolitan areas, the Planning Association says. The federal Bureau of Economic Analysis, in a study released last December, also picked Los Angeles as the region with the greatest potential for job growth. It ranked Houston second, followed by Boston. The Planning Association study, however, says Houston is expected to rank only seventh in growth with a gain of nearly 498,000 jobs by 2000. That is a substantial difference both from &e government study and from the last Planning Association report, issued just over a year ago, which called for Houston to be the biggest gainer through the end of this century. The new study anticipates that Houston will have 2,191,500 jobs available in the year 2000. In 1985 the Planning Association projected that in that year there would be 2,949,000 jobs in Houston. Job growth is continuing in Houston and similar areas, but with declining oil prices, energy-dependent areas are “less booming” than in the past, commented Carlton N. Strong of the Association. On the other hand, the lowered energy prices are a benefit to older industrial areas which are more dependent on oil and other energy sources. Boston, for example, climbed from 10th in anticipated growth a year ago to second place in the new report.

RICHMOND, Ind. (AP) - The Rose City Grand Prix Go-kart races have been called off by Richmond Jaycees, who cited inability to obtain $1 million liability insurance.

the largest insurance policy the club could get was for $500,000, at a cost of more than S9OO for the two-day event.

AT&T strike in fourth day

WASHINGTON (AP) - Negotiators for striking telephone workers and AT&T are planning further meetings under the auspices of federal negotiators in an effort to end a walkout extending into its fourth day, but both sides acknowledge there is little progress so far. “There’s been a tiny bit of progress, but it’s not enough to end the strike,” Rozanne Weissman, a spokeswoman for the Communications Workers of America, said following two bargaining sessions Tuesday. “We’ve moved an inch but there’s a foot

to go,” Ms. Weissman said. “If this goes on past this weekend, we’re dug in for a very long strike.” Neither Ms. Weissman nor American Telephone & Telegraph Co. spokesman Herb Linnen would comment on the exchanges the two sides have had in the bargaining sessions held since 155,000 members struck the telecommunications giant Sunday. But sources indicated there were still major disagreements on three provisions that AT&T wants in a new three-year contract covering the workers.
