Iowans Helped to Gainful Jobs Through Reemployment Service
Hans C. Prund director of the national reemployment service in Des Moines reports that in the past week Iowa placed 1479 individuals in gainful employment.

The gain marks a 26 percent weekly rise driven by seasonal demand and increased employer familiarity with the no charge service.
