On the tenth anniversary of the signing by U.S. President Harry S. Truman of the Full Employment Act, approximately 100,000 automobile workers are without jobs because of industry cut-backs or shut-downs. And because the automobile industry is the pump primer for all business here, an additional 55,000 workers have been laid off in industries which supply the car assembly lines — auto hardware and stamping, electrical equipment, rubber and others. Beyond this is the effect the layoffs have had on retail trade.
