Excerpt from The Demand and Price Situation: November 1947 The demand for farm products continues to show exceptional strength and prices received by farmers remain near the record reached in October. Industrial output continues to gain despite inadequate supplies of steel and is only slightly below the postwar record of March. Nonagricultural employment has advanced to an all-time high with total unemployment the lowest since the war. Personal incomes are at a record reflecting increasing employment and wage rates, and heavy cashing of terminal leave bonds by veterans.
