Job Outlook Seems;
Good: For Economy |-
{Continues to Grow |
The job outlook for new college
graduates this year is excellent.
Our economy is. operating at ex-
tremely high levels and is expand-
ing, and that expansion is expect-
ed. to. continue and intensify dur-
ing the rest of 1952 and 1953. Rec-
ord employment levels are being
reached nearly every month. Un-
employment.is extremely low and
is expected to edge downward ev-
en further.
Defense production and employ-
ment have been rising steadily for
many months and are scheduled to
expand rapidly until the end of
1953. After that time defense out-
put will remain on a high. plateau
for a number of months. Produc-
tion’ and employment for civilian
use have been edging downward in
recent months and a further de-
cline may be anticipated during
much of this year. During 1953,
however, employment levels in this
|segment: of the: economy are ex-
pected to climb upward until they
have more than recovered the loss
es of 1952..
The. decline in: employment. in
non-defense activities is largely- a
counterpart of the expansion of
the defense: program. We have,
for example, had to curtail produc-
tion and employment: in a number
of consumer hard goods industries
because we could not provide them
‘with the desired quantities of cer-
tain key metals such as steel, alum-
,|inum, and copper, and at the same
time: provide those metals to de-
fense industry. Metal supplies
are now loosening, however, and to
'|@ constantly greater extent non-
defense industries will be able to
obtain the types and quantities
they desire.
Certain of our consumer soft
goods industries, most notably
textiles, apparel and shoes, have

_lexperienced employment. declines
during the last 8 or 10 months be-
cause of a lack of demand. We ex-
pect, however, that some measure
of recovery will occur in these in-’
dustries because inventories are
now quite low and consumer pur-
chasing power is high enough to
encourage higher consumption.
As this: brief resume of over-all
economic outlook indicates, job. op-
portunities. should be plentiful for
some time to come not only be-
cause. we are operating at high
levels but also because we are con-
tinuing to expand.
Students seeking information
on expanding industries or sec-
tions of the country need to re-
member this basic fact: most of
lege graduates will be, as usual,
those which have been vacated by
other workers. Deaths and retire-
ments at the top of the occupation-
al ladder create the largest num-
ber of openings at the bottom. It
follows that most of the openings
will occur in the large industries
and the areas where there are now
the heaviest concentrations of em-
ployment.
Employment in certain parts of
the country is growing more rap-
idly than in others, in the long run.
This is true on the West Coast, in
the South Atlantic region and in
Texas. Moreover, in rural areas
of the country the need for work-
ers in some of the professional
fields is frequently relatively great-
the jobs taken by this year’s col-|er than in cities.
