Employment Will Peak in 1948 Says Goodwin

Robert C Goodwin of the U S Employment Service warned some cities would feel a manpower squeeze as Europe’s recovery raises demand for steel machinery and transport equipment. He noted farm labor will be the hardest to recruit for the 1948 crop and that some foreign workers may be needed despite limits on housing and medical subsidies.
