Ten years after the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of March 1943 the program known as public law 16 has aided 600000 disabled veterans nationwide to train for productive lives. In the Pacific Northwest and Alaska over 20000 have benefited, with about 350000 rehabilitated to earn livings. Most graduates served World War II veterans, with the last two years seeing Korean veterans join the program. About 40 percent entered professions and top management, 36 percent trained as machinists mechanics and electronics specialists, and one in ten became farmers. The program peaked in late 1948 with 230000 trainees and now numbers around 30000, including 3000 disabled Korean veterans. more than 1000 in the Northwest region.
