Abstract

The Iowa economy remained strong in June and this strength was reflected in the substantial drop in unemployment insurance claims activity from last June. First or initial claims for benefits were 14 percent below last June and the number of weeks claimed were 21 percent lower. Students entering the labor market for full-time and summer jobs made up a large percentage of the new job applicants during June . Overall new applications rose 84 percent between May and June and 42 percent from June 1964 . The over-the-month increase was considerably larger than during the same period last year and can be attributed to the extensive promotional effort in the Youth Opportunity Campaign.
