Officials Puzzled by Slow Takeup of Federal Retraining
In Huntington West Virginia officials report the first federal retraining program for jobless has drawn only about 750 applicants from Cabell and Wayne counties out of an estimated 7 000 to 8 000 unemployed. The program funded with 15000 dollars aims to retrain 325 people by June 30 with 238 a week paid while in training. Although publicity blitzes and 1950s style job security hopes were high, area managers note many unemployed prefer expected recalls or are reluctant to change vocations. Of 1015 contacted, 640 attended interviews and 479 showed interest in aptitude tests. 52 percent failed to show aptitude for offered courses. Headers include plant and construction ties, with many saying they are not interested or will be called back, or are too old to start anew.
