Orange County, the January 15 estimate showA, had 700 workers recrui labile under the conditions prevailing then; 100 white males; 300 white females and 100 non white males. This county had an estimated 225 in the skilled and semi-skilled groups, while 300 were under 45 years at age and were considered tarinable for jobs requiring skills. - - Chairman Henry E. Kendall an nounces that the study is being compiled by Hugh M. Raper, di rector of the Bureau of Research and Statistics, on data supplied by local Employment office ^managers and staffs throughout the State. This study, Chainnan Kendall ex plains, is genera*! in nature and is not as complete and detailed as the Commission is prepared to make for any interested industry which may be seeking labor market information for possible location of any specific type of \ Plant in any locality in the State. The_estimates: of recrultabie i labor, in eachcounty are more than the number of job seekers and those at present unemployed. They include potential workers from such groups as: !. fhouse wives who would take jobs ’if wages and working conditions, were more favorable than pre sently existing in the area; 2. Workers now commuting to other areas, but who would remain at home if better work opportunities. ,should develop; 3. Youths; expect l^lo jtfin the labor force; 4. Older ■employables not now in the labor force; 5. Minority groups that would readily aocept emiployment; 6. Agricultural workers seasonally unemployed; and 7. Other smaller groups .deemed recruitablefor in dustrial employment. Estimates which are believed to be iqZIthe 'conservative side In dicate that as of January 15, the State had about 103,000 workers who could be recruited under favorable conditions for defense and important civilian, industries. Oif these, 36.250 tfere white males and 50.000 were white females, while 28,600 were non-white males. An estimate places the skilled and semi-skilled in this count at more than 60,000, while 54,200 are classed as those iliider 45 years at age who are considered trainable for jobs requiring skills. ..o WARNING ON AUTO TAGS Hillsboro — The Town of Hills boro this week warned automobile owners this week of “the addi tional fine and cost” for violation of the town ordinance regarding city auto tags.
