The Pennsylvania Department of
Highways employed 22,500 men on
road work, during tha peat week, including contiwet and department
force construction, Secretary of
Highways Sam Lewis Announced.
"Actually," Secretory Lewis said,
"the Department's road work employed nearly 70,000 men. Thomas
H. McDonald, Chiaf of the United
States Bureau' of Public Roads, to
authority for tits following:
"For eaeh individual ao employed
the total highway expenditure provides additional indirect employment
equivalent ho two other persons.
This does not mean only tora men ae-
tuallq employed indirectly, since production of material and equipment
and transportation may involve part
time of many persons, but rather
employment equivalent to foil time
for two other persons.
"From this it can be seen that in
the neighborhood of three million
men were benefited by the 1981 road
and street program. Considering
families the number becomes some
10 or 12 million people. And this
ww largely local labor whose wages
turned over and over fa the community for groceries, rent clothing,
gas and  other necessities of life.
'Construtcion of roads and streets
aad other public improvements constitute a logical method of combating unemployment, for while furnishing jobs, expenditures for such
projects, bring the tax payer the
things he needs. From 80 to 90 par
cent of the money so spent goes directly and indirectly to labor.''
