Jobs Rise 76 Percent in June Illinois Service Report
Illinois State Employment Service reports 23 773 jobs filled in June up 76 percent from June 1940 but down about 12 percent from May 1941. Durkin notes May peak due to seasonal demand and defense material shortages may have affected June. Skilled labor demand persists in metal trades with machinists tool die makers turret lathe operators and boring mill operators needed. Employers easing age limits for skilled work and women increasing in industrial roles while domestic workers grow scarce. Dust concerns in country towns and a humorous aside about traffic and school questions appear in the text.
