Unemployment rate drops WASHINGTON (UPI)-The nation’s unemployment rate in April dropped to the lowest level since the Korean War but the job picture for Negroes showed little improvement, the Labor Department reported today. The unemployment rate last month was 3.5 per cent of the labor force, matching the figure for January of this year which was the lowest monthly rate since 1953. But the Negro jobless rate in April was about double that for whites—the way it has been running for some time. The improved job picture for the nation as a whole was not generally shared by poor people of all races in the cities. A special report by the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics on the job situation in the poorest neighborhood in the nation’s 100 metropolitan areas showed an unemployment of 7 per cent during the first quarter of 1968. The 7 per cent figure was more than double the 3.4 per cent jobless rate for the same period in other neighborhoods of metropolitan areas covered in the report. Labor Department surveys showed that despite job gains as a result of continued expansion of the nation’s economy that Negroes have been unable to reduce their unemployment rate to less than double of white.
