North Carolina, even though hard pressed for workers in many of her highly essential industries, has furn ished 12.850 workers during the year to the high priority industries in other states arid possessions( through Dec ember 22). Of these, 9,730 were sent to the "must'-' activities within Region IV, largely to the Norfolk Navy Yard and olso to the shipyard, airplane plants and foundries in and around Baltimore. To other sections of this Nation, as well as to Pearl Harbor, Alaska and other highly urgent act ivity points, including shipyards and airplane plants on the Pacific Coast, this State has furnished 3,120 work ers.' / ? Important in the recruiting activ ities in the State have been the 12 to 18 manpower recruiting officers who are stationed at strategic points and move about as conditions warrent, who get out on the highways and in the hedges and "beat the bushes"- for workers, many hundreds of whorrl have been directed to local USES of fices forref feral to highly urgent in dustries or services. This method was tried out in North Carolina first and found to be very effective. Another activity inaugurated in tmsf State first, starting in November 1943, is issuing the "weekly List of Job Openings in Essential Activities," a compilation of every essential job opening for workers in every local office area in the State, with additions and deletions daily, and sent to all local, divisional and branch USES offices, manpower recruiting officers and WMC administrative offices in the State. ' This list gives sufficient information on all job openings for the recruiters to fit workers into them readily and rapidly. ^ new list is issued weekly, while lists of new jobs and jobs filled are sent out daily. In the five months of reportable operation of the Priority Referral Plan, August through December (De cember estimated), 109,550 local priority referrals to jobs have been fnade by the USES offices, placements have been verified in 82,200 cases, and there have been 15,470 . local priority placement assists/ Special training has been given to till local USES office managers and . _ m x-v ' - /y:\ veterans employment representatives in all local, divisional and branch offices, in preparation for the in creasing numbers of veterans who will be discharged from the armed forces in the months U^follow. Al ready, in the ten months period, Feb ruary-November, inclusive, an av erage of more than 1100 veteran placements have made and verified in local non-agricultural jobs month ly. in addition to other services ren dered veterans. Important in increasing production lor the cause are other activities con ducted by the War Manpower Com mission: The Reports and Analysis Division gathers information on past anci present employment and future de mands in all localities in the State, furnishing data on labor trends and supplies, by means of which decisions aie reached on. classifying labor market areas, in placing new in dustries or contracts, and for use by other agencies in locating housing, transportation, feeding and other facilities for workers in war and war supporting plants. ? The Manpower Utilization Division 5 ras gone Into many essential North Carolina plants and made studies to determine and make recommenda tions on how available labor can be utilized to greater advantage. Its Oc cupational Analysis section breaks, down jobs into their requirements 2nd recommends separating skilled activities so they can be performed by less skilled workers, and upgrad ing to use the highest possible skills of all workers. The Training Division cooperates with management in training within industry for supervisory personnel and skilled and unskilled workers to develop new and higher skills. It has an Apprentice Section which co operates in training apprentices on new jobs, and, in cooperation wtih ether agencies, develops- training classes throughout the State in all needed types of skilled workers.
