Labor Service Made Good During War
The United States employment service, in under a year as a war agency, organized labor to meet shipbuilding, farming, and other wartime needs. It recruited shipbuilders, carpenters, and skilled workers, trained them, and dispatched farm labor from across the country. The harvest army moved north to gather wheat, while other workers filled critical roles to sustain the war effort and restore production.
