Public Office Jobs Drive for 10000 Met
More than 16 000 men and women were found eligible for work by the city employment office during April and May, per J H Shields superintendent.

Supply roughly matches demand and few cases of enforced idleness are reported. The piece also notes political maneuvering in employment debates.
