Text of Job Census Director's Report On Nations Partial Unemployment

Total of 3,209,211 U. S. Listed as Having Part Time Work.

WASHINGTORY, Jan. 8 (U.| P.).—The text of the report of John D. Biggers, director | of the unemployment census, | to President Roosevelt on fol-

partial unemployment

lows My Dear Mr. President: As promised in my letter of Jan. 1, transmitting a preliminary report on total unemployment in the United States as of Nov. 16-20, I am now submitting to you a preliminary report on partial unemployment as revealed by the voluntary census, and as indicated by the subsequent enumerative test census. The voluntary registration of those partly employed and wanting more work was: Male, 2,641.660. Female, 567,551. Total, partly unemployed, 3,209,211. Just as soon as final tabulation of the answers to all of the 14 questions can be completed, we will make available to you and to the nation a wealth of data which should be helpful in formulating plans for reemployment. In fact, we place much greater value upon such information than upon the enumeration approximation achieved in the fields of total and partial unemployment.

DATA COMPREHENSIVE

This information will include statistics as to age, color, farm or urban residence. occupational classification, industry, the number of weeks worked during the past year, the hours of employment during the week preceding registration, the number of workers in the family of each registrant and the number of persons dependent upon the registrant. Questions regarding , partial unemployment were inclided on the voluntary registration card, as provided by law, but with full realization of the impracticability of accurately measuring such a variable quantity. The enumerative test census conducted over 1455 postal routes immediately after the voluntary registration to check its completeness and accuracy demonstrated that it is more difficult to measure partial unemployment than total unemployment. The voluntary registration of the partially unemploved was only 57 per cent of the number reported in our test census, as compared with the 72 per cent registration of the number reported to the enumerators as totally unemployed.

TERMS EXPLAINED

In our report on total unemployment we pointed out the difficulties of measuring the marginal group consisting of those who are not regular workers for wages. In the field of partial unemployment other factors make the appraisal even more complex. For example, it is difficult to get people to understand the important distinction. between partial employment and partial unemployment. Many persons regularly work only part-time and do not need or want more work. They are partially employed. Others are reduced to part-time work by force of circumstances, not by personal limitations or choice. ‘They are partly unemployed.

Preliminary analysis indicates a very considerable number have registered or reported themselves as partially unemployed when they clearly belong to the group of partly employed workers and should not have included themselves in either the voluntary or the test census.

FIGURES ANALYZED

Attention should also be called to the fact that the volume of partial unemployment reflects the prevalent “share-the-work” policy. Employers, oftentimes at the request of the workers, distribute the burden of unemployment among all of their workers to avoid imposing the extreme hardships of idleness on those who would otherwise have to be laid off. This is usually done with the hope that improved conditions will make it possible to bring all back to full-time employment, but during the interim the part-time workers may properly consider themselves partly unemployed. We will have ready shortly a complete breakdown by counties and by cities of 10,000 and more population of all of the numerical information covering total unemployment, partial unemployment and those on emergency work. Aside from that this concludes my ISHY ¥ re-

POLICE SEEKING PAYROLL THIEF

Victim Reports Drawing $350 at Bank, Finding it Gone After Trolley Ride.

Police today sought thieves who took a $350 payroll from one man, $28.75 from another and $2.50 from a woman. J. C. Dunn, 938 N. Illinois St, told officers that he boarded a streetcar yesterday after drawing a $350 payroll from a downtown bank for the J.C. Dunn Co. When he got to his office the money was gone, he said.

Negro Bandit Sought

“The public welfare,” Dr. Foster | stated, “requires a balancing of the | consumer interest with the labor interest, the farm interest and the business interest. Toward that end, | consumers, speaking through organ- | izations in their control, should have | a part in determining economic 1ol- | icies. Under present conditions, fam- | ilies of moderate or low incomes are | finding it increasingly difficult to | maintain their standards of living. Consumers Foundation aims to help | them to get more for whatever | money they have to spend.” |

STATE TO GIVE TEACHERS CASH

Fund of $6,943,300 Will Be Distributed to Units On Jan. 15.

A total of $6,943,300 in state funds

is to be distributed to Indiana's school units on Jan. 15, Floyd I. McMurray, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, announced today. The money is to be used for salaries of the 19,638 teachers in the state. Each teacher 1s to receive $350, one-half the total they are to receive from the state this year as part of their salaries. This $700 payment is an increase of $200 over the gmcunt of state aid they received last year. When the rest of the payment is made later in the year, teachers in Marion County and Indianapolis schools will have received $1,530,200 in state funds, of which more than ghree-fourths is to go to Indianapolis School City teachers. The policy of distributing State funds to teachers was initiated at the time of the adoption of the gross income tax. The number of Indiana teachers is less this year than last because of a decrease in enrollment, Mr, McMurray said. In the elementary grades there are 6202 fewer pupils, while high school enrollment shows an increase of 2599. Mr. McMurray also announced that a distribution of $525,765.90 of common school fund revenue is to be distributed Monday.
