A Dim Look At Unemployment Angle Burden lAWUMMAMWSIMVtCI The unemployment rate for McHenry county is 7.5 percent, and likely to increase, officials say. Because of these figures, the need to provide employment opportunities and a healthy tax base in the county has led the McHenry County hoard to create a new standing committee on economic development. The unemployment statistics mean that of a labor force of 76,180 people, there are more than 5,700 unemployed people living in McHenry county. These figures are the most recently available -- September 1961. State Bureau of Employment Security statistics show that in the same period the unem­ ployment rate for Cook county was 8.3 percent, 6 percent in DuPage county, 7.7 percent in Kane county, 6.4 percent in Lake county and 8.1 percent in Will. county. McHenry county has a lower unemployment rate than Will, Cook and DuPage counties because there are many heavy manufacturers in the other counties, said Robert Morris of the county planning commission staff. "Those larger manufacturers feel the recession more heavily than the smaller manufacturers in this county," he added. "For instance, a division of Caterpiller Corp. is located in Will county and they have more layoffs there." According to Morris, it is generally the case that where there is larger industry, there is more unemployment. Job creation compared to population increase in McHenry county grew considerably less rapidly in the period between 1970 and 1978 than did the United States as a whole, as well as less rapidly than in the state and three of the other five collar counties, statistics from the McHenry County Planning commission reveal. Growth in per capita personal income in McHenry county lagged the nation, the state and every other county in the Chicago area in the period between 1974 and 1979, according to the U.S. Commerce department. In every year from 1974 through 1979, a progressively smaller fraction of the total personal income of McHenry county residents actually was being earned inside this county, the Commerce department analysis shows. Hie county planning depart­ ment in November reported that a recent study by the Illinois Chamber of Commerce analyzed the effect of new industrial jobs on a community. Their statistics show what 10G extra such jobs typically mean to a community and the figures were included in last month's report from the McHenry County Committee on Economic Development. Ihe 100 extra industrial jobs would mean 68 adtfitional, non- industrial workers employed in the retail, wholesale and services sectors of the local econoihy. They would generate $1,960,000 more in personal income per year with $950,000 more in bank deposits and $1,310,000 more in retail sales per year, plus one more retail establishment. Because it is the express goal of the McHenry County Year 2000 Comprehensive Land Use Plan to encourage commerce and in­ dustry as being vital to the maintenance of a fiscally sound and balanced economy, the McHenry County Regional Planning commission in December declared itself in favor of a permanent standing com­ mittee of the board in the area of economic development. The board was unanimous in supporting the commission's recomendation, and charged the new committee "to work as broadly as possible, to improve the economic climate of McHenry county, through a mixture of short-range and long- range strategies, such as joint participation with the coimty's municipalities and the state Department of Commerce and Community Afairs in a state- sponsored business retention- expansion program." The new committee also was charged with seeking and developing ways to make development capital more freely available to firms ready to ex­ pand, and to "vigorously explore ways to increase the presently inadequate inventory of finished industrial and commercial park space in McHenry county. Planning department figures show that 100 extra industrial jobs would increase sales of $276,000 for grocery stores; $100,000 for eating and drinking places; $136,000 for department, dry goods and variety stores; $70,000 for clothing and shoe stores; $206,000 for automobile dealers; $95,000 for gasoline service stations; $53,000 for lumber yards and building material dealers; $44,000 for drug stores; $60,000 for furniture, home furnishings and household appliance stores and $270,000 for other stores, for the total of $l,310,00p. Statistics prove that job creation is essential for McHenry county, but althopgfe the oqpety has been successful with its job training and Comprehensive Education Training Act programs, recent cuts could cause a setback with these programs. According to a report Friday by the Associated Press, federal budget cuts for two state-run job placement programs could mean the ax for many workers who spend their days trying to find jobs for others. State and federal officials are searching for a way to lessen the Mow of the federal aid cuts to the Illinois Job Service and the Work Incentive programs. The cutbacks stem from a budget resolution passed -by Congress in December. Officials say the decision could result in nearly 482 layoffs, or a 50-percent cut, by Feb. 15 in the federally- funded Illinois Job Service program. As many as half of tjp state's 60 Job Service offices could shut their doors because of the cuts, experts say. Kathy Dunn, assistant to state Labor Department Director E. Allen Bernardi, said the department's Bureau of Em­ ployment Security, which ad­ ministers the programs, hopes to decide how to respond to the cuts by next week. She said no BES workers have yet been laid off. Ms. Dunn said job placement counselors throughout the state, as well as numerous other field and administrative employees with the programs, have been alerted to possible layoffs. "The Job Service program will not be discontinued," Ms. Dunn said. "The act by Congress said nothing about discontinuing service." Ms. Dunn said it is hard to determine how many people may have to be laid off because of­ ficials here do not yet know the extent of the cuts. "There isn't any way to measure the impact this early," she said. The Job Service program last year found jobs for 135,000 unemployed Ulinoisans, ac­ cording to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, a union representing government workers. According to AFSCME spokesman Hank Scheff, state labor officials are considering a variety of steps aimed at sof­ tening the blow dealt the programs by the funding cut. Jack Haffner, who heads McHenry County CETA programs, said it is "too early to tell how the cuts will affect us." Haffner said CETA in McHenry county has a contract with Job Service and should "not be af­ fected by the recent funding cuts." He said the local CETA unit pays the state for Job Service personnel and the contract would noC.be affcQted.. . "We were the first CETA agency to have such a contract with the state and I believe the contract will guarantee Job Service personnel for this department," Haffner said. McHenry County Board Chairman Ronald Morris said Monday the county's new economic development com­ mittee is "working out its goals and priorities. PAGE 17 - PLAIN DEALER - FRIDAY.
