Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the Unemployment Compensation Commission of Montana, 1945 Seven months ago this country had just ended the war with Germany and was shortly to end the war with Japan. This Com mission had seen times during the war years in which the lowest weekly unemployment benefits paid totaled around $370; in 1945 the lowest weekly benefits for unemployment compensation paid totaled about $880, revealing that virtually no unemployment existed, that all those who were employable were gainfully em ployed. On January 1, 1946, the situation had changed considerably because of the ending of the wars, the return of about discharged veterans in a comparatively short time, and the return of war workers from war plants mainly on the coast.
