The article presents news briefs as published in this issue of the periodical. The most depressing figures that Americans have had to read in the past two years have been the official reports of employment published monthly by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. Those figures have now reached a point that would have been considered utterly fantastic and incredible had anyone dared to predict them in 1929 or even in 1930. The number of employees in more than 63,000 manufacturing industries, representing every important branch of factory employment, fell off 3 percent in July to 55.2 percent of the average level in 1926. Figures of the National Conference Board supplement those of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
