War Job Turnover Rises Slightly In 1943 Across Centers
The OWI and WMC report a small increase in wartime labor turnover from 1942 to 1943 as workers quit or were laid off for lack of work. Explanations point to perceived war end dates, father drafts, and farm deferments, with sharp turnover in San Francisco Bay area shipyards and Baltimore. Pascagoula, Tulsa and other centers face high quit rates and shifting hiring, causing both strain and unemployment swings nationwide.
