LG I B TOTAS SHOWN N 2 YER Cut in Idle Ranks Slow After Spurt Early in Admin- istration. By the Associated Press. Unemployment estimates widely used in Government departments 1ndtuteiv progress in cutting down the jobless rolls has been comparatively slow dur- ing the past two years, after a sensa- tional spurt early in the administra- tion. The figures, assembled originally for | President Roosevelt's Committee on | Economic Security, estimate unemploy- ment decreased almost 4,000,000 dur- ing the first seven months of the New Deal, but changed little in the subse- quent two years. Despite their use by Government | agencies, the figures have been closely guarded since they were assembled by the Security Committee’s consultant, Robert R. Nathan. 15,071,000 Peak in 1933, ‘They place the peak of unemploy- | ment at 15,071,000 in March, 1933, and estimate that by October, 1933, it had fallen to 11,176,000. Since then the | figures show sharp fluctuations, with & net decrease of 261.000 from October, | 1933, to September, 1935. | September’s total of 10,915,000 was | higher than the New Deal low of | 10,743,000, in June, 1934. Although the final figure for October has not been determined, preliminary calcula- | tions indicate it will be materially | less than the September total. | Nathan assembled the figures through | March, 1935, for the Economic Secur- ity Committee. Since then he has made the computations unofficially. His estimates include totals not only of the unemployed, but of the em- ployed. | Although they show more unem-' ployed in September of this’ year than | in June of last year, they also indi- | cate more people were at work in | September. This surface discrepancy | is explained by an estimate that the employable population increased 450,- 000 between the two months. Available Labor Increase. | For the seven-year period from January, 1929, Nathan estimates a total increase in the employable popu- lation of almost 2,000,000 persons, and concedes this may be low. He places unemployment in January. 1929, at| 2,631,000. On that basis the Nation would have to find about 4,500,000 more jobs than existed in January, 1929, to wipe out joblessness. Here is how unemployment has swung back and forth under the New | Deal, according to Nathan's estimates: March, 1933 15,071,000 October, 1933 -11,176,000 January, 1934 _ -12,599,000 June, 1934 -10,743,000 January, 193 12,561,000 September, 1935 _ ---10,915,000 Here are the figu for the corre- sponding months in the three years: September, 1933 ________ 11,448,000 September, 1934 _ -11,908,000 September, 1935 _ -10,915,000 G.W.
