Compensation Payments Drop During September
Columbus, Ohio. Unemployment compensation payments in Ohio dropped to a new record low of $46,841 during September. Administrator Charles H. Jones of the Ohio Bureau of Unemployment Compensation announced at Columbus.
This was the second consecutive monthly low record to be set in Ohio this year, with the September payments dropping four per cent below the previous benefit low of $48,794 established during August. The average weekly number of unemployed persons receiving benefits in Ohio during September was 826 compared with 847 in August.
Approximately 13 per cent of the unemployment compensation payments in the state were concentrated in the Athens area where temporary lay-offs resulted largely from shutdowns occurring while mine repairs were in progress. Another 12 per cent of the benefit total paid to out-of-state unemployed workers who had worked sufficient time in Ohio to qualify for benefits. Administrator Jones said.
Not included in the $46,841 paid in state benefits was $1,129 issued to World War II veterans by the BUC in servicemen's readjustment allowances during September under provisions of the G. I. Bill of Rights, effective September 4. Funds for readjustment allowances are provided by the Veterans Administration.
