Graduates may find few jobs By DOUG WALKER of Wawasee may be having serious~T>roblems finding full time employment, along with most people in their age group across the nation. Marilyn Curtis, Wawasee High School senior guidance adviser, said that out of 220 1982 Wawasee graduates, 55 have thus far been successful in locating full time jobs. A total of 87 graduates are employed part-time presently, while 95 former students (including some now employed parttime ) continue to seek jobs. Mrs. Curtis said that a total of 75 recent graduates plan to attend four-year colleges, while 30 students plan to go to two-year schools, and six intend to enter vocational schools. The fact that 20 graduates have joined the Armed Forces, more than twice as many as in the average year, is indicative of the present unavailability of full time jobs. Mrs. Curtis said Bill Stephen, head of the Warsaw branch of the Indiana State Employment Security Division, said the job market was "pretty tight" at the present time. "Entry level jobs are very hard to come by,” Stephen said Most of the job openings that do exist are for positions requiring a high level of skill, in areas like engineering, he added Stephen said the job outlook in Kosciusko County was the bleakest it had been in the eight years he has served in his present capacity. Dorothy Batchelder of the Elkhart County branch of the Indiana State Employment Security Division said the situation was very much the same in her county "We have very few if any entrylevel jobs," she said. Elkhart County employment generally picks up in late winter and early spring, she added, before tailing off when college students return to their hometowns seeking summer employment. Unemployment figures usually peak around July 4. and then recede after students vacate their positions to return to school, she said. Mrs. Batchelder said the current unavailability of jobs was more severe than previous shortages, because the current recession has lasted longer than its predecessors. Calls to a number of area employers, including Brock Manufacturing. Inc., at Milford, and Sea Nymph Manufacturing and Liberty Homes, Inc , in Syracuse, revealed that very few if any entry level jobs are available at the present time, Most employers said they were continuing to accept job applications. in case the economic situation should change in the near future Y ARD DAM AGED There was an estimated S2OO damage to the yard of Clyde Clark, r 2 Leesburg, after flowers and shrubs were tom up and a large flower pot and three ashtrays were upset The incident occurred sometime Tuesday evening. May 25. BLOOD PRESSURE CHECK SATURDAY This Saturday the Chatter Box will hold its free blood pressure check at the Milford Community Building from 9 a.m. until noon.
