Skilled Labor Shortage Shown By Survey
A Warner & Swasey survey of 229 firms employing 791,820 people reveals a skilled labor shortage with 196 firms saying yes and 34 no. Key shortages include machinists and tool makers, while training mostly occurs in plants, with some joint schools and vocational programs. Many firms report minimal inflow from relief projects, though some reassigning and cooperation with public works exists. President Philip E. Bliss urges broader trials of relief workers and younger entrants to meet future needs.
