Machines Needed To Release More Men For War Duty
Wartime analysis argues for higher machine efficiency to free workers for war needs. If the 18 makers per fighting man held, the U S armed forces would total under 4 million with 70 million in eligible ages. McSherry notes that $2,000 in contracts equals one man-year, so $50 billion implies 25 million workers for a year. The steel industry improves safety, ranking fourth in 1941 behind tobacco cement and laundry.
