Vast Job Expansion From War in Defense Push
The Labor Department reports the Vietnam war has created over a million U.S. jobs in two years, with defense work rising to 5.2 percent of civilian employment. Civilian jobs in defense grew to 4.1 million, as nonmilitary sectors added about 74 000 transport and warehousing, 90 000 clothing, 30 000 iron and steel, and 12 000 food industry positions.
