UNEMPLOYMENT [3?B Eurostat , ~· UNEMPLOYMENT [3?B eurostat , ~· . · 'l -. Statistical Telegram 'L~·'·,~tl.: ..... ... ~,t ..., '(l 15 January 1981 MONTHLY STATISTICS OF REGISTERED UNEMPLOYED IN THE COMMUNITY - December 1980 - In the Community of nine, 7.9 million persons were registered as unemployed at the end of December 1980, representing 7.2% of the civilian working population. The position has thus continued to deteriorate during the month of December, to an extent very much exceeding the normal seasonal rise. In the Community as a whole, unemployment rose by 4. 2% between November and December 1980. All member countries showed an increase although this varied very much between the different countries. In a single month unemployment went up by 15.$% in the F.R. of Germany, 10% in Denmark, 8.7% in the Nether­ lands and 7.9% in Luxembourg. These high rates of increase are in continuation of those observed in these countries since September: unemployment has risen in three months by 36% in the F.R. of Germany, by 35% in Luxembourg, by 33% in Denmark and by 20% in the Netherlands. Ireland, with a very high rate of unemployment, nevertheless recorded a continuing increase (+ 6.3% and+ 15.7% by reference to November and September 1980}. However, for the other countries having high unemployment rates, the numbers of registered unemployed appear to be rising much more slowly (United Kingdom + 3.3%, France and Belgium + 1.2%, Italy + o. &fo). As in the preceding months, these increases are mainly in respect of male un­ employment. At the end of December 1980 the number of unemployed men had risen by 6.9% since November and by 1~ since September, the corresponding increases for women being+ 0.9% and + 4.8% respectively. The greatest increases in male unemployment during December were noted in the F.R. of Germany (+ 27.5%), Luxembourg (+ 18.2%}, Denmark (+ 14.0%) and the Netherlands (+ 13.0%). In total, between end-December 1979 and end-December 1980 the unemployment rate in the Community has risen from 5.7% to 7.2%. This rate has gone from 4.9% to 6.6% for men and from 6.~fo to 8.3% for women. The growth in unemployment in the Community during 1980 amounted to 27%. The countries most affected were the United Kingdom (+ 66%}, Denmark (+ 56%), the Netherlands (+ 49%), Ireland (+ 38%), and the F.R. of Germany (+ 29%). The in­ creases in unemployment were below the Community average in Luxembourg (+ 19%), Belgium (+ 17%), France (+ 11%) and Italy (+ 6%).

  • SSI: Trends and Changes, 1974–80
    SSI: Trends and Changes, 1974-80 byLennaKennedy* By the end of 1980, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program was making monthly cash assistance payments, aver- aging $170, to almost 4.2 million aged, blind, and disabled per- sons. When SSI payments began in January 1974, the number of recipients was 3.2 million and the average payment was $117. Since 1975, both SSI payments and Social Security bene- fits have been automatically adjusted each year to correspond with increases in the Consumer Price Index. A number of other trends in addition to growth can be discerned in the size of the population served, as well as in their categorical, geographic, and age distributions. This article discusses some of these trends and changes, using program data for the end of each cal- endar year through 1980. It also presents a brief summary of the program at the end of that period. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program differed from State to State. In addition, payments provides cash assistance to residents of the 50 States, the within a State varied depending on criteria such as District of Columbia, and the Northern Mariana Islands special living arrangements-for instance, a recipient who are categorically eligible-aged 65 and older, blind, sharing an apartment or living in a domiciliary care fa- or disabled-and whose income and resources are with- cility. A few States also made higher supplementary in the limitations imposed by law and regulations. The payments to persons residing in metropolitan areas. maximum Federal SSI payment, originally $140 * per Although SSI has been affected by a number of legis- month for an individual without countable income and lative changes, the program has experienced little net ex- $210 for a couple, had risen by mid-1980 to $238 for an pansion since its beginning.

    FEDERAL REGISTER: 45 FR 36901 (May 30, 1980) DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) 30 CFR 716.17, 717.17, 816.42, 816.46, 817.42, and 817.46 DOI-OSM Discharge from Mine Areas: Revision of Standards for Effluent Limits and Sedimentation Ponds Legal Authority Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, 30 U.S.C. Sec. 1201 et seq. SUMMARY: REASON FOR INCLUDING THIS ENTRY The Department of the Interior (DOI) considers these rules to be of general public interest because they concern the environment and the public health and safety, and because they will help to improve the quality of the waters of the United States. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM On December 13, 1977, the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) published initial regulations for control of sediment in discharges from areas of surface coal mining and reclamation activities, and on March 13, 1979, published final regulations. The rules established specific limitations -- called "effluent limitations" -- on the total suspended solids (TSS) iron and manganese content of the discharges from the mining area. The rules also required that all runoff be passed through sedimentation ponds and established minimum design criteria for these ponds. Essentially, sedimentation ponds improve the quality of discharges by detaining runoff until heavier particles settle to the bottom of the pond. The TSS limitations were essentially the same as those established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on April 26, 1977, (42 FR 21380), and on January 12, 1979, (44 FR 2586). EPA's regulations were promulgated pursuant to the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C.
