Job—and there are a lot more ot | them in the nation now than a! year ago—has the biggest personal | stake today in the direction the nation’s economy is taking. | To the statistician the total of the unemployed tells a lot about | the business story. But to the man himself it’s a lot more than just being a figure in a table. In New England, thousands are out of work—some because, per- haps like you or your neighbor, their factory is going slow until some top-heavy inventories are whittled—but many more because their textile mill has gone out of business. Merchants will tell you that in mill towns where this has hap-| pened retail trade is down—though it may be as good as ever else- where.

Some who lost their jobs when mills closed down have found work | in other kinds of factories, or in the service or retail trades. These are mostly persons under 40. Many elderly workers and many young wives have just stepped out of the labor force. Most of the jobless are drawing unemployment compensation. But around 1,300 of these drop off the rolls each week, having exhausted the benefits allowed. | New England officials have been working hard for solutions to the | problem.
