An 18 per cent drop from April to May of unemployment benefit payments to Ohio law claimants was reported to Governor Thomas J. Herbert by Dale Dunifon, administrator of the bureau of unemployment compensation, in his monthly report. His figures also showed that payments to unemployed veterans in Ohio under the servicemen's readjustment allowances act fell 25 per cent. Another encouraging sign in the employment picture was Dunifon's statement that initial claims for benefits under both programs had declined for the fourth consecutive month and were six per cent lower than in April.
The average weekly number of benefit recipients under both programs continued a downward trend since March and reached 44,285—20 per cent under April. Although benefit payments may be received by unemployed workers under the Ohio law for a maximum period of 22 weeks, many workers do not receive them for the full period because they either find jobs, drop out of the labor market, or otherwise disqualify themselves before the expiration of that time, Dunifon said.
Equally significant in the administrator's report was the fact that the 2252 claims of self-employed veterans under the SRA program for the month of May were 53 per cent below the corresponding month last year. He attributed this decrease largely to the on-the-job training programs for farmers and to the number of self-employed servicemen who have exhausted their allowances.
