Government Needs Million Workers by June 1949
Washington August 14 The government estimates it will require about one million new soldiers and military supply workers by June 1949. Robert C Goodwin, director of the U S Employment Service, says the shortage will affect skilled technical and clerical roles but can be met without harming civilian manufacturing and farming. About 62 million people are projected to be employed by next summer as population growth and civil labor force expansion contribute. Shortages will be localized with some regional gaps in labor. the plan emphasizes recruiting, relocation, training, and stabilizing turnover while maintaining feeding and community services.
