Job Placements in Richmond Slump Slightly During June Job placements in Richmond dropped slightly from 1.080 in May to 1,041 last month, the local office of the Virginia State ployment Service reported today. A.
W. Clopton, manager of the Richmond VSES office, noted that placements made in June, 1948, totaled 1,793. He described the steady downward trend over the past year as a "leveling off" process. than a recession. is the inevitable letdown from the war boom." added.
Clopton said he expected the local employment picture to brighten by early August, when Richmond tobacco plants are due to begin stemming operation, as the new tobacco crop moves on the market. This will take up much of the slack in the unskilled and semiskilled class of job-seekers. he explained. He noted that unemployment here at present is most marked in class. the This unskilled category and semiskilled 60 per cent only of 15 the although cent of emplovers seeking labor need this type of worker.
OPPORTUNITIES SLUMP The greatest demand now is for skilled workers, service occupation employees, clerical help and professional-managerial employees, in that order, Clopton explained. The employment manager said that job opportunities -job openings on Richmond office--slumped from 1,639 in May to 1,328 in June. This contrasted with a total of 2,848 job openings registered in June a year ago. Clopton commented that some of the job placement activity in June, 1948, resulted from a much higher labor turnover than exists now. A year ago many workers still were "shopping around" for jobs-leaving one job for another that appeared more attractive or offered better pay.
Now the tendency is for the worker to hold on to what he has. Placements of high school and college graduates last month trasted sharply with placements secured for the graduates a year. ago. Ninety-four graduates were placed in permanent jobs last month, as against 319 in June, 1948. Thirty-seven local graduates found temporary, Summertime jobs through the local employment office last month, as compared with 60 in June of last year.
EMPLOYERS SELECTIVE Clopton said that judging from local conditions, a high school or college diploma is no longer the recommendation it used to be. In dealing with graduates and other job applicants as well, employers generally are more selective now than they were a year ago. Clopton said employers now will ask for two or more applicants from whom they can pick to fill a vacancy after interviews to help them select the person best fitted for the position. Clopton reported a total of 464 "contacts" visited the Richmond employment office during June. This figure inchided persons actively seeking jobs, those seeking job counseling and others seeking general information only.
Jeb counseling services were given 494 persons, of which many were graduates. One hundred and ninety veterans also were given job advice. Last month the ployment office visited 173 Richmond firms to obtain data on job openings for graduates. Persons placed in jobs during June included 25 physically handicapped workers. of which nine were disabled veterans.
At the end of June the office had a file of 4,684 job applicants, of which 1,418 were veterans. the end of June, 1948, there were 2,807 job-seekers on file.

If the potatoes in any one of the several containers are as good as when they left Norfolk when they arrive in New York, the experimenters will feel they have made another stride forward in solving Tidewater's knotty potato marketproblem, Dr. J. L. Maxton, agricultural economist with the Virginia Extension Service, who is here for the experiment, also was enthusiastic over the prospects. He pointed out that many potatoes are subject to "sun scald" while in the back of trucks waiting their turn in the few washers and gradthat are available.

The act requires that a first-class city must be a party to any consolidation efforts. Hampton does not come under that classification and Phoebus, included in the new consolidation move, is a town. Newport News is the only first-class city on the lower peninsula. In the event that the county and Hampton-Phoebus interests decide to consolidate, special legislation will have to be passed in the next session of the Legislature. Sentiment in the eastern portion of the peninsula is against consolidation with Newport News.
That city is expected to enact an ordinance Monday to provide for court action in acquiring a large portion of Warwick County.
