Sixty ' per cent of them, he said, do not ‘ find regular employment within a year after leaving school. In, Fayette county, he continued, the unemployment survey made last year revealed that there were 700 young people out of school and out of work and that there Were 500 others on federal emergency programs. « in»... ~.
