Employment Service Expands Roles Across War Effort
The Employment Service places seven men earning at least 15000 annually into executive posts in civil life and cites more such appointments. It helped a depth bomb inventor find a research post in the War Department and expects broad cooperation between employers and workers nationwide. The service reports 1301 former miners returned to mines in one day to support coal and war metal production, with farm help steady through the Boys Working Reserve. Plans include state unit farm labor supply and training courses for agency personnel to improve job matching.
