Employment Gains Drive Baltimore Area Labor Shift
In a July to September report by William E. Mahanes, Employment Security Board chair, defense orders and civilian demand boosted activity. Nonagricultural employment rose by 11,000 with a 7,000 gain in industrial plants and 4,000 in trade and government work, while layoffs fell and wage earners neared 483,500. Women accounted for 45 percent of the jobless, with 32,600 unemployed in September, and the area moved toward a mild labor surplus as sectors from steel to canneries added workers. A labor dispute at a major shipyard is noted amid broader industry gains.

Employment prospects in construction and skilled work shift
A survey notes skilled workers like outside machinists and welders faced hiring difficulties in September due to age and physical limits. The draft-proofing trend hurts those under 35 in professional and skilled roles. Builders warn federal home building controls starting Oct 12 will slow activity, with effects seen next spring. Construction employment rose 1% from July and 27% from September 1949, but winter demand depends on weather and schedule changes amid new credit rules.
