0 Vol. LXXXV11II No. 59-S michigan DAILY Saturday August 5,1978 Ann Arbor, Michigan Ten Cents Sixteen Pages Unemployment up during July WASHINGTON (AP)-The unem- ployment rate rose sharply from 5.7 per cent to 6.2 per cent last month, but nevertheless the economy is not growing worse, the Carter ad- ministration said yesterday. The Labor Department said teenagers looking for summer jobs ac- counted for half of the 440,000 increase among unemployed citizens during July. UNEMPLOYMENT in June had dropped from May's 6.1 per cent to 5.7 per cent of the work force. Government economists said the reported decline in June may only have been a statistical mistake and that the unemployment rate has actually been steady all year. At the White House, presidential spokesman Rex Granum said the new figures are no cause for alarm.

"THE UNEMPLOYMENT rate has changed very little since February," Granum said, adding that a total of about 1.4 million jobs have been added to the economy since then. He said the employment rise is not a sign that the economy is slackening, noting that other economic indicators continue to point upward. Despite strong economic growth in the spring, some economists have feared that worsening inflation will lead to a recession early next year. AT A NEWS conference, Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal said "there are no indications of a recession as far as we can see." He said the unemployment situation has remained strong and that "there are more Americans at work earning more money than ever before and there is no reason to be concerned." A Labor Department official, Janet Norwood, said, "It would be premature to infer a change in the underlying strength of the labor market." THE EMPLOYMENT figures are ad- justed for seasonal variations, and June and July are considered particularly difficult months for the adjustmenta because of the influx of students into the labor market for the summer season.
