German labor reforms and postwar production in occupied zones
The piece, based on Hubert J. Myers’ report in the April Labor Information Bulletin, explores Germany’s need to strengthen worker and employer cooperation to achieve economic self sufficiency. It discusses currency instability, reparations fears, and plans to curb money in circulation, plus the impact on labor incentives and production in wartime-affected regions and Austria. It notes a 15 percent rise in minors under 18 employed illegally in late 1946 despite a 57 percent drop in total minors employed in inspected establishments.
