Proper Placement of Workers Big Problem
Columbus delegation reports WPA chief Dr. Carl Watson says difficulty lies in matching relief clients to suitable projects. Only 5 to 10 percent of relief workers are laborers, with many needed in domestic, technical, professional, and clerical roles. Funds exist for many projects if approved, but current allocations would cover about one third of Ohio projects. Weaker local government capacity to absorb relief after June 30 hinges on economic recovery and potential further funding from Washington and Congress.
