Less Unemployment

Coincident with a Department of Commerce report that business con- ditions and industrial activity continued to improve during February, came the announcement of the United

States Employment Service that unemployment has been reduced to nor- mal. February is a month during which there is usually a seasonal de- cline in employment on account of weather conditions which affect outdoor operations. But this year more workers were on the payrolls in February than in January.

In 52 out of 65 cities, according to the U. S. Employment Service figures, unemployment has decreased. The Service regards this as a sure herald of coming national prosperity.
