Veterans Unemployment Drop Seen in Legion Survey
From a pool of more than half a million service men in the United States returning after the war the unemployment situation for World War I veterans appears to have improved. A survey for the American Legion Weekly places unemployed veterans on March 1 at 400000 with promise of further improvement. The Legion notes employment agencies in every state aiding veterans, preventing migration to big cities and supporting farm relocation, while advocating seniority rights for returning workers. Exservice men suffer more due to seniority rules and efficiency standards, with full return to prior industry pace taking about a year. Restlessness and nomadic tendencies from war strain hinder reintegration. Reopening factories in New England textile regions and Pennsylvania mines signals the worst may be over.
