Industrial Activity in Pa.
Hits Postwar High in June
Industrial activity in Pennsylvania during June reached a new
postwar high and the Bureau of Business Research at the College
said Saturday that activity probably would continue to gain as the
nation embarks on :a rearmament program.
The Bureau also noted pronounced gains in living costs, report
ing a 3 percent gain from April to May, followed by another 2 per
cent rise in June. The Bureau
expects another increase when
July figures are tabulated.
Marked price increases included
those of meats, eggs, coffee, and
bread.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 190
Industrial power sales, bank
debits, and new cars and 'truck
sales during June surpassed' the
all-time . records for any' one
month and new June peaks were
reported in steel production. The'
building industry, in line with
the national construction boom,
showed exceptional strength with
building operations up 57 per
cent from a year ago.
In spite of the high level of
business prosperity and indust
rial activity in the State during
June, factory employment and
employee hours were the lowest
for the month, except for 1949,
since 1940. Employment WaS
down 22 per cent from the war,
peak, indicating a . considerable'
volume of labor exists in case of
war expansion by industry.
