Local Employment Problem Is Studied
Miss Marian G. Boalt, supervisor of employment in the central field of the YWCA, spent days in Quincy studying local employment issues. She advocates vocational direction matching workers to suitable lines of work and outlines four placement factors: job enjoyment, physical fit, temperament, and environment, plus the applicant’s economic needs. Employers are shifting to careful selection via employment bureaus. The YWCA has begun a system across associations to match female workers, with applications vetted by personal investigations to fit positions. The local group aims to expand this service to more employers and girls, and Boalt’s suggestions will guide the plans.
