Soaring Again Five Million Idle, -Washington Figures By NORMAN WALKER WASHINGTON' CP Un employment is climbing back close to the five-mil lion marW economists re ported today. They said a figure approaching that mark may be shown in the government's January count, erne out Tuesday. Joblessness normally nses In the winter months because of the weather's effect on construction, farm and other outdoor activities The five-million mark has not been exceeded since last April, when the Jobless count was 000. But in recent months job idle ness has been running a little ahead of corresponding months a year ago. In December the total was 4,108,000 or 734,000 more than the 3,374,000 in December 1957.

The figure for January 1958 was 4,494,000, a Jump of well over a million from December. If the January 1959 idle total increases by anything like the million or so normally registered in that month, the total will be close to or over five million and well over the figure for a year ago. The figures indicate that while employment has improved sub stantially from its recession depths, the job picture still is gloomy. This in itself is not too surpris ing. Employers normally don't in crease their work force very fast in a recovery period.

They cau tiously increase working hours of workers already employed, work ing them even overtime hours at premium rates rather than hire new workers.

As of now about one out of every 17 able-bodied workers wanting a job can't find one. Similarly, one of eight single workers is unem ployed. Among married workers the idle ratio is one out of 20.

Worker earnings, like prices, are at record levels. This means that those workers that have jobs are doing all right, many of them enjoying big chunks of extra, premium overtime pay. But that doesn't apply to the workers un able to find steady jobs. 7 .4 i i W(PflGD Yi 816 St. Louis St.
