He predicts peak unemployment will not come until the third quarter. James Webber, deputy chief economist. of the Poronto- Dominion Bank, also looks for unemployment to reach 10.5 per cent in the third quarter, with “one or two months maybe worse.” . Economists say one hopeful sign is that much of the hig jump in the May jobless figure came from more people looking for work rather than fewer people having jobs. Theunemployed are defined as those actively looking for work, recently laid off, or about to begin a néw job. Thus there may: be: “discouraged - workers'’ not included’ in the ~ statistics who would look for work if they. felt there was any hope of finding it. _ Others not counted as either employed or unemployed include fulltime students and housewives.
