Unemployment ; Report
65,000 Out of Work

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Trans-
port Minister Moshe Carmel has
announced plans of his ministry to
spend nearly 25,000,000 pounds

ment program, which will provide
work for 1,000 men to help ease
Israel's unemployment problem.
In announcing the plan, the min-
ister also disclosed that, in line with
Israel's current austerity price-
stabilization plan, his ministry had
forbidden Israel's bus cooperatives
from raising fares during the com-
ing year. He said that fare in-
creases would only have still fur-
ther reduced passenger traffic
which has already dropped sub-
stantially because of Israel's cur-
rent economic squeeze.
New information on the jobless
problem was provided by M. Smith,
director of the Manpower Planning
Authority, who said that current
unemployment had reached the
65,000 mark. Speaking at a special
meeting organized by the Israel
Management Center, he also said
that the total will continue to rise
next year.
