portunities in peacetime industry ,
included these findings:
That perhaps 2 1-2 million j
people will have lost war jobs in
the 60 days following Japanese |
surrender on August 14.
That perhaps 4 million will have j
| lost jobs in the six months follow- '
That a reasonable “first goal” In;
: factory employment would be to
jhave 14 million persons working at'
[ manufacturing in the next few j
months.
The 14-million objective would i
bring factory employment back to |
the level of fall, 1941—when defense \
work was piled on big civilian pro
duction.
WMC named aircraft, shipbuild-;
ing, ordnance, radio and radar,,and1
the government as the major war
employers whose workers would be
fired in greatest numbers.
“Development of the fields in
which the; will be re-employed will
tax the energies of management, j
labor and government for many j
months,” the agency said.
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
By industries, the peacetime job
opportunities shaped up like this in
WMC's estimation:
Railroads—May need 25,000 new
workers by mid-October, plus 15,000
to replace Mexicans being returned
to their country.
Coal Mining—30.000 workers would !
bring the industry up to its 1944
average.
Clothing and Textiles—Mills and
factories now need 230,000 but can-!
not absorb them all at once. By
next February they may have in
creased employment by 250.000 to
400.000 workers.
Construction—The work force, at
the 1941 peak of 2,800,000 workers!
1.100.000 on VJ-day, was far below
engaged in new building. But sud
denness of victory and shoitage of
materials raised problems. It is un
likely that the industry can absorb
more than 200.000 for new work and
repairs by Octoer.
f
Tires and Tubes—Probably -won't j
need more men. Even though plants I
in the Akron area are returning to 1
a 33-hour week, the 80,000 rubber j
i workers of mid-August will drop j
[gradually to 60,000.
FARMING—The 1 million-man 1
rise in employment will run until
mid-October, then slope off to the
year's low point in January—per- j
haps 4 million fewer than in Aug
ust. Then another climb.
AGRICULTURE
(WMC said agriculture might em
ploy no more next winter than last.1
but many children, old people, im
ported foreign workers and war pris- i
oners would drop out. This would!
open up places for veterans and;
discharged war workers.''
Food Processing — Employment1
will drop 30.000 by mid-October and
150.000 by next February. But this j
is largely seasonal.
Autos and Trucks—In 25 pre-war
automotive plants, October employ
ment will be down 385,000 workers
from the August level. All those
laid off were making munitions, i
Only about 60,000 will be absorbed j
at once in auto production. By next!
February employment will be at:
550,000, or close to the high peace- ■
time level of 1941. Ultimately, the'
industry's plans for 6 million ve- !
hides a year could employ 600,000
persons.
HOISfcHOLU rRUItltlS
Household Products (refrigerators, |
washers, and so onl—Within six 1
months will be employing 85.000 or
more, as in the peak year 1940-41. |
Furniture—Industry says it can 1
absorb 75.000 workers as soon as it
can get lumber and textiles freely.
Trade—Nearly 7 million workers
now in wholesale and retail selling:
an expected increase of more than
400,000 by the year's end will bring
the total nearly to the 1941 employ-:
ment peak. Almost all the increase
will come in retailing, with whole
sale employment showing no great
increase until next February. But by j
that time retailing will have drop- :
ped off again.
Service ilaundries, hotels, thea
tres. and the like'—Now declining
about 60-000 from August to October
because hotel and recreational work
