Soviet Plan Faces Skilled Labor Shortage Drag
Moscow reports the Soviet Union aims to quadruple its native skilled labor within four years to drive the five year industrialization plan. The campaign confronts a lack of craftsmen, managers, and technicians, delaying mills, power plants, railways and other projects. Foreign technicians have helped with design and construction but not ongoing operations. The State Planning Commission plans expanded education via universities, technical schools, night schools, factories, and media to convert 1.0 million laborers and peasants into skilled workers within the period. Tass cites 120,000 talists in construction, including 31,452 with university status, 35,231 with only a normal education, and 53,395 trained by experience. Within four years, 35,873 skilled specialists are targeted, with 17,430 university graduates and 259,443 with at least secondary education, though the total will still fall short of needs.
