Local jobless rate jumps 0.3 percent during October
Lawrence's unemployment rate jumped by 0.3 percent in October to 4.3 percent, yet remained less than half the national rate of 10.3 percent and exceeded the state rate of 5.9 percent, according to the state Department of Human Resources.
Darwin Dateoff, professor of economics, said the Kansas unemployment rate usually was lower than the national rate because Kansas' industries were much more stable than those of other states.
But Ed Mills, manager of the Lawrence branch of Kansas Job Service, said recently that outdoor jobs, such as construction and agriculture, traditionally started to lay off workers as the weather got colder.
"December will generally start the unemployment rate up again," he said. "Normally during that period you have a drop in the number of jobs available."
However, this year he will be a little different for Lawrence, he said, because of the creation of about 150 jobs in December and January with the opening of Wal-Mart, 23rd and Iowa streets, and the expansion of the Gustin-Bacon Division of Aerouq; Corporation, 2010 Lakeview Road.
"New growth sure can't hurt anything," he said. "It will offset the traditional winter layoffs and sure improve the market around here."
The state jobless rate registered at 5.9 percent for the second straight month. Both the total number of workers and available jobs dropped.

1984 salary proposals analyzed Regents panel discusses cuts
By DEBORAH BAER Staff Reporter
TOPEKA—The faculty senate presidents of Kansas Board of Regents institutions want to remit the governor and the Kansas legislature that even during the lean years of the higher education was not ignored.
"Kansas is not suffering as much now as in the 39s, but faculty were funded better than they are now," John Watson, faculty representative for Hart's State University, said Friday at the meetings of the president.
James Seaver, KU's faculty representative and chairman of the presidents' committee, said yesterday that the committee was concerned about proposed reductions in Regents faculty salaries in fiscal year 1984.
"The recommendation from the governor's hatchet man was for a rather drastic reduction." Seaver wrote in the same column in Lynn Muchmore, state budget director.
A DOCUMENT from Gov. John
Carlin's office said that between now and the year 2000, 75 percent of the nation's industrial growth would be in technology industries. Watson said.
Kansas needs strong universities led by excellent faculty members to compete with other states in attracting high-tech companies, Watson said. High-tech companies typically operate near universities, employ as consultants and hire graduate students as research assistants.
But if the state does not offer large enough salaries to Regents employees, higher education institutions and keep top-level faculty, Watson said.
If the state wants to attract high-tech industry, it will have to support Regens institutions because the state is among the biggest in the state for research, he said.
"GOOD RESEARCH facilities and high level students aren't going to come from the junior colleges," he added, going to come from the Rogers' schools."
Seaver said the faculty presidents hoped that Muchmare's recommendation was for a "worst case" when students would not adopt such a harish policy.
To help convince the governor, the presidents decide to prepare a graph showing the Regents' share of state support since 1920.
They also planned to make a graph showing the changing faculty-to-student ratio at each institution during that period.
The ratio has changed from about one professor to four students to one professor to 15 or 20 students, on the institution, said Watson.
"Back in those tough times, they did find the financing to fund those classes with a good faculty to student ratio." Watson said.
The graphs will reveal a gradual decline in state support for higher education he said.
The presidents hope to show the graphs to the Regents in December and then bring them to the governor, Seaver said.
