McCracken, director of North Carolina State Employment Service Division of the Employment Security Com mission. Significance of this report is that placements of workers in Jobs in the State hare been de creasing since last fall and the placement of 16,188 workers last August not only halts the trend, but reverses it completely.

However, the significance of the total place ments last month is that the number is larger than in either of the preceding three peace-time years. Of the 16,188 non-farm place ments last month, 16,093 were made within the local office areas in which the applications for jobs were filed. Placements, it is explained by Director Mc Cracken, means the completion of five steps taken by the local office interviewers, including ap-| plication for a job, -referral to a job and verification of the place ment of the worker on the job to which he was referred. Among the August placements were 4 34 placements of handi capped workers on jobs in which their handicaps will not interfere with the work to which they are assigned. Most of these are war veterans, but non-veteran work ers are also included; In addition to the non-farm placements, 5,476 placements were made of agricultural work ers within their own local office area, while 2,319 farm workers were transferred to jobs in local office areas other than their own. Total placements in August, farm and non-farm, reached 23, 983, of which almost half, or 11,929, were women and 2,935 were veterans. However, at the end of the month, local offices had 59,798 active applications for jobs on file, 23,006 of them women and 16,416 of them vet erans.
