OUTLOOK FOR CRAFTSMEN\n\nCraftsmen can look forward to 5million job openings during the 1970s,according to an estimate by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the De-partment of Labor.Employment of skilled blue-collar workers is ex-pected to rise to 12.2 million in 1980,a jump of 2.2 million jobs over the1968level.Another 2.6 million workers will be needed to replace experi-enced persons who retire or die.In addition,hundreds of thousands ofjob openings will be created by transfer of skilled workers into otheroccupations.  \nAbout 85%of the skilled job openings expected during the 1970s will bein occupations in these five groups:construction craftsmen,mechanicsand repairmen,foremen,metal-working craftsmen,and printing crafts-men.  \nThe largest and fastest growing group will be construction craftsmen.About one-third of the skilled job openings will be in this field.Anaverage of 71,000 new jobs will be created each year during the 1970sand another 61,000 jobs will open because of retirements and deaths.  \nAmong individual occupations,the largest number of openings during thisdecade will be for carpenters(39,300 yearly),electricians(21,200yearly),automobile mechanics(19,600 yearly),and plumbers andpipefitters(19,500 yearly).  \n# CONSUMER SENTIMENT\n\nConsumer sentiment continued to rise at a moderate rate during the lastthree months-suggesting slow and gradual growth in consumer demandrather than any surge,The University of Michigan's Survey ResearchCenter(SRC)reports.  \nThe SRC Index of Consumer Sentiment rose to 81.6 in May from 78.2 inFebruary and 75.4 in November(February 1966=100).The Indexstands significantly higher than at any time in 1970,but has regainedonly 6 points of the 20 points lost during 1969 and 1970.  \n# PERSONAL INCOME\n\nPersonal income advanced $6 billion in May to a seasonally adjusted an-nual rate of $847.4 billion.This compares with an April increase of  \n$4.6 billion and equals the average monthly rise so far this year.  \nA $4.3 billion gain in wage and salary disbursements,to a total of $571.2billion,accounted for about three-fourths of the May personal incomeadvance.All major industry divisions shared in the increase,with com-modity-producing industries rising $1.7 billion,distributive industries  \nJULY 1971  \nSelected Components  \nFINANCE FACTS  \nJULY 1971  \n$1.3 billion,and services about $0.9 billion.Government payrolls inMay increased $0.4 billion in the State and local sector.Federal Govem-ment payrolls have shown little change in the past few months,as smallgains in civilian payrolls have been offset by declines in military pay.  \nTransfer payments rose $1.I billion in May to a total of $89.9 billion,withsocial security benefits and unemployment insurance accounting forabout half of the increase.Other nonwage items showed small increases.  \n# CONSUMER CREDIT\n\nConsumer instalment credit outstanding increased $663 million in April,after allowance for seasonal differences.This expansion-the largestsince the $669 million recorded for October 1969-compares with $495million in March and a monthly average of $228 million during the firstquarter this year.  \nSeasonally adjusted instalment credit exended was somewhat larger inApril than in the preceding month with the major part of the growth innonautomotive consumer goods credit.Repayments showed a furthermoderate expansion in April even though automobile payments droppedslightly.Both extensions and repayments in April were the largest onrecord.  \nThe $265 million increase in noninstalment credit was the largest since May1969($276 million)and was centered largely in the charge accountsector.At the end of April total noninstalment indebtedness amountedto $25 billion of the $125 billion of total consumer credit outstanding.  \nOf the $100.0 billion instalment credit,$35.5 billion was for automobiles,$28.7 billion was for other consumer goods,$31.8 billion was in personalloans,and $4.0 billion was in home repair and modernization loans.  \n# CONSUMER BUYING PLANS\n\nAm","cbCaieRVxsR3p6qO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieRVxsR3p6qO","pdf",1413076,"English","# OUTLOOK FOR
