Accent On Youth is Up | n American Workers Pacemakers at Pres ent Include Groups Under 25; Number Is Expected to Grow An accent on youth, which has become such a striking char acteristic of the Amerffran scene in recent years, has begun to msuiifest itself in the makeup at the working population' also and will become increasingly evident in the y?ars ahead. •This trend stands out from new figures recently compiled by the U. S- Department of Labor on the age composition of the labor force with projections into the decade of thfe Seventies, and it is certain to have a far-reaching influence on the economy and its future progress. The Labor Department study shows that the big .push to the growth of the working popula-! tion is already coming from the younger groups of workers, by contrast with the dominance of those in their middle and older years in the increases of the past two decades. Under-25 Group Selling Pace The present pacemakers in this respect are those under 25, and their number is expected to grow by more than 3 million between i 960 and 1965. This represents more than half the entire rise in the working popu lation anticipated -for this pe riod. The majority of the under -25 working group is composed of those from 20 to 24, and it is they who have lagged most in the statistics for the Forties and Fifties. Another big group is projected for the under-25 group between 1965 and 1970, and in thte period they will be joined by those be tween 25 and 34 who have been in a numerical downtrend over the past decade. With the turn of the decade of the Seventies, the 25 to 34 group will become the fastest-growing part-of the working population, with an an ticipated rise of more than 4 million between 1970 and 1975 to represent over half the pro jected rise in the labor force in those years. As a result of this trend, the Labor Department forecasts that ■■ .y" y i ifSsSßl} 'l. tSH jgggjßsgMK 4 ' ■ ■'O . a ■■■ < w » W Jmp' ■iyHrillllmS W m m W* iSifeMnWWr / Jw- -JH ■ • ’ mt t|jlL " m, wJt - -.

Importance of Trend Os outstanding importance, beyond the mere 'growth in num bers, of the more youthful “look” developing in the working popu lation is the steadily rising edu cational eitainment of the young er generation and the increasing number going on to college and institutions of higher learning for specialized education and training. Furthermore younger adults in their twenties and thirties are in many wavs the economic back bone nf the nation. They are marrying young, • founding a family, establishing a home, and building a career. And because of their needs and responsibili ties, they are a major market for goods and services. They are the nation’s biggest heme buyers, and of major importance in the purchases of automobiles and other durable goods. And to protect their future and that of their dependents, those ; n the 120 to 39 age group lead all oth ers in purchases of ordinary life insurance, acquiring 50 per cent of the number of policies and two-thirds of the face value bought annually. ; Health For All ] —■. A Health Racketeers ’ The machine was an electronic marvel, its manipulators assured I their wide-eyed dupes. And a huge boon to the ailing. Why, all you had to do was send in a blood sample and the gadget would make a diagnosis, duly reporting whether your earache signified gout, cancer, or cow pox. There was one small hitch. When government inspectors sent a couple of samples to the midwest “laboratory” where it held sway, it turned out the ma chine couldn’t even tell the dif ference between blood and color ed water, let alone figure out what was in them! Electronic health-aid fakery has grown into big business since technology became the going thing. Recently Food and Drug Administration agents raided a phoney health institute in Wash ington,' D. C. They found the ’gifted “therapists” operating an Premerge weed killer is the fast, low-cost way to control both broadleaf weeds and seedling grasses for weeks. With this head start, peanuts can compete for food and water—and win. You get higher yields, better quality. Harvesting is simpler, too, without weeds tangled in vines.
