War Workers Must Get Permit To Change Jobs
William S. Barnes, acting state director of the War Manpower Commission, warns Iowa workers to secure a formal release from their local USES before seeking jobs in another community. The rule aims to use labor efficiently, reduce wild goose chase migrations, and save time and money for employers and applicants. Barnes notes that releases are needed when no local job is available or when a worker’s skills can be better utilized elsewhere.
