Up-to-date and accurate manpower information is essential in making wise vocational 

decisions. In recognition of this need, Federal, State, and local government agencies 

are issuing an increasing number of publications which inform vocational counselors 

and others about trends and developments which have implications for career 

decisions. This Guide was prepared to encourage the wider use of these materials.

This bulletin was prepared by Gerard C. Smith, under the direction of Neal 

Rosenthal, in the Bureau’s Division of Manpower and Occupational Outlook. Joseph 

J. Rooney, Gary G. Rubenstein, and John M. Sumansky assisted in the research and 

writing of the bulletin.

INTRODU CTIO N

In an ever growing and changing society, such as ours, the task of making sound vocational and educational 

decisions is a growing challenge. Consider, for example, the pace of technological change in recent years and its 

effect on job opportunities and job security. Hundreds of thousands of production jobs have disappeared in 

various regions, occupations, and industries. At the same time, new industries, products, and processes have 

generated employment opportunities-many of these in new occupations. Educational and training requirements 

have been raised across a broad range of occupations. Achievement of effective vocational and educational 

decisions is further complicated by the unusually large numbers of youths and women entering the labor force, 

and lingering high levels of unemployment among youth, older people, and minority group members.

To meet the challenge, counselors must be informed on the major aspects of the Nation’s manpower trends. For 

example, they should be familiar with the changing job content of occupations; those occupations with excess 

workers and those with worker shortages; the new occupations resulting from technological change; and those with 

growing or shrinking employment opportunities. Commenting on the effectiveness of counselors without a full 

knowledge of occupations, an outstanding leader in the field of counseling points out that “the weak counselor 

pools his own ignorance of occupations with the ignorance of the client and from this shallow pool tries to help 

the client to select an appropriate occupation.” 1

A veritable storehouse of occupational and other manpower materials is published by government agencies—both 

Federal and State—which can help counselors and counselees to achieve the most effective vocational and 

educational decisions. These publications cover a wide range of subject matters including job descriptions, industry 

and occupation employment trends, changing occupational structure in industry, entry jobs, training requirements 

for specific occupations, and starting and managing a small business. Some publications include valuable 

bibliographies on subjects of particular interest to counselors. Much material published by State agencies deals with 

current and future occupational employment requirements in individual labor areas; or the duties and 

characteristics, qualifications required, employment prospects, and related information for individual occupations 

or groups of related occupations.

The Counselor's Guide to Manpower Information previously published in 1964,2 is a selected bibliography of 

representative materials from all Federal and many State agencies from 1962 through early 1968. Emphasis is 

placed on the latest available published materials.

In addition to the preceding separate publications which provide national information, many publications provide 

State and local area manpower information. State employment agencies affiliated with the U.S. Department of 

Labor publish much valuable information on occupations and employment opportunities in State and local areas. 

These State agencies prepare two principal types of studies—area skill surveys, which analyze current and future 

occupational requirements in individual labor areas; and occupational guides, which provide career information for 

individual occupations or groups of related occupations. State agencies also publish special manpower and labor 

market studies that deal with future manpower supply, characteristics of the work force, changes in State and area 

economic activity, and the employment structure of industries.

The Guide to Local Occupational Information, compiled by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of 

Employment Security, lists local level occupational guides, occupational guidance publications, and area skill 

surveys. (See page 19.)

No attempt was made to tap the vast field of private publications; counselors should consult the NVGA

Bibliography o f Current Occupational Literature, 1966 Edition, published by the National Vocational Guidance 

Association.

Use of the Guide

For ease of finding publications pertaining to a specific subject, the Guide is divided into four basic sections: 

occupational and industry manpower literature; education, financial assistance, and placement information; 

manpower problems and issues; and special groups in the labor force. Introductions to each section identify the 

subject area and associated manpower problems. Where applicable, the section introductions describe governmental 

policies and programs related to them. Each section is divided into several sub-sections which focus on a specific 

subject. Annotated listings are presented on each subject in alphabetical order. The Guide also includes a section 

on basic statistics, available from government sources, that can be particularly useful to counselors; and a section 

on directories, catalogs, and bibliographies. Appendixes include helpful hints to counselors on how and where to 

order government publications.

In citing Federal publications, abbreviations have been used to conserve space. These abbreviations indicate, in 

order of their appearance, (1) the name of the issuing department and (2) the agency (abbreviation in parentheses) 

to which requests for free publications may be directed. When agencies within a department are responsible for 

publications, they are listed immediately after the departmental abbreviation. Free publications may be obtained as 

long as supplies last. Virtually all priced publications may be ordered from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. 

Government Printing Office. Federal agencies are listed alphabetically, by their abbreviations, in Appendix B, along 

with their addresses. (See also Appendixes A through E for information on how and where to order Federal 

publications.)

Free State and local government publications may be requested from the agency whose name and address appear 

immediately following the publication title. Priced publications may be ordered from the organization whose name 

and address appear in parentheses.

Publication citations in the Guide that are preceded by an asterisk are considered suitable for counselees and 

counselors to use. The titles of periodicals are italicized for ease in identification. Information on subscriptions to 

selected periodicals is provided in Appendix D.

Many of the publications listed in the Guide are available free of charge; the others may be purchased. School and 

public libraries may be sources for some of these publications. Also, Federal depository libraries may be excellent 

for Government manpower information. (See Appendix E for list and explanation of Federal depository libraries.)

COUNSELOR'S 6UIDE TO OCCUPATIONAL AND OTHER 

MANPOWER INFORMATION

A BASIC MANPOWER BO O KSH ELF

Of the hundreds of useful government manpower publications cited in this bibliography, several should be on 

every counselor’s reference bookshelf because they are basic sources of comprehensive, practical, and up-to-date 

information. These selected, publications are identified briefly below with references to the pages in this 

bibliography where they are discussed.

The Occupational Outlook Handbook is the most comprehensive source of occupational and industry career 

information available. Published every 2 years by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, it 

provides information on the nature of work, long-term employment outlook, and related topics for hundreds of 

occupations, and major industries. (See page 4.)

The Occupational Outlook Report Series consists of individual reprints of statements published in the 

Occupational Outlook Handbook (119 for the 1968-69 edition). These reprints enable counselors to make 

occupation and industry information readily available to students interested in specific careers. (See page 4.)

The Occupational Outlook Quarterly supplements the Handbook by presenting up-to-date occupational outlook 

and other timely manpower information. (See pages 9, 86.)

The Dictionary o f Occupational Titles (D.O.T.) published by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of 

Employment Security, is an encyclopedia of job definitions and related data. The 1965 edition of the D.O.T. 

contains information on about 22,000 jobs, of which about 6,000 are new to the D.O.T. since the previous 1949 

edition. (See page 21.)

The Handbook on Women Workers published every 2 years by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau, is 

a sourcebook of facts on women’s employment, occupations, earnings, education, and related subjects. (See 

page 63.)

The Manpower Report o f the President including a Report on Manpower Requirements, Resources, Utilization, 

and Training published annually by the U.S. Department of Labor is the Federal Government’s primary report on 

manpower problems. It discusses the many factors affecting manpower requirements, resources, utilization, and 

training. (See page 42.)

Each major branch of the Armed Forces publishes a comprehensive career handbook and other helpful materials, 

which describe occupations and training programs for enlisted men. These publications include: U.S. Army

Opportunities; U.S. Navy Occupational Handbook; U.S. Air Force Occupational Handbook; and Occupational

Specialties, issued by the U.S. Marine Corps. (See pages 26, 27.)

O CCU PATIO N AL AND IN D U STR Y MANPOWER LIT E R A T U R E

National Information

The Federal Government is the main source of occupational and industry manpower information that is primarily 

national in scope. A representative sample of the increasing volume of publications incorporating such information 

is shown below. The subject matter is varied, but in general deals with careers in individual occupations, 

employment changes in industries, and education and training programs which lead to jobs in specific fields.

O CCU PATIO N A L O UTLO OK S E R V IC E INFORM ATION 

Occupational Outlook Handbook

The Occupational Outlook Handbook, compiled by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, is 

a basic reference book of occupational information. The Handbook is based on information gathered from 

industry, labor organizations, trade organizations, trade associations, professional societies, Government agencies, 

and educational institutions. It draws upon an extensive program of research in industrial and occupational trends 

in the United States.

The Handbook, first published in 1949 and every other year since 1957, is now in its eighth edition. It provides 

comprehensive information for approximately 700 occupations and 30 major industries describing their work, 

earnings potential, training and educational requirements, and outlook. It also discusses future trends and 

conditions which are likely to affect employment outlook in the decade ahead. The 1968-69 edition contains 765 

pages with many illustrative photographs and charts.

The Handbook and all other Occupational Outlook Service publications are available from the Superintendent of 

Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, or from any of the eight regional offices 

of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (See Appendix B, page 83 for addresses.) Send 

check or money order. (See appendix A, page 79 for: How to Obtain Federal Government Publications.)

Surveys of the manpower situation in selected industries are conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau 

of Employment Security. Survey reports usually describe industry employment trends and current labor needs, by 

region, State, and labor areas. Changing occupational patterns in industries are sometimes discussed. Summaries of 

these reports are published in Employment Service Review, a monthly publication; separate reprints are also 

available. Single reproduced copies of those surveys which are out of print are also available upon request from the

State and Local Area Information

A great deal of information on occupations and employment opportunities is published by State employment 

security agencies. These State agencies prepare two principal types of studies—area skill surveys and occupational 

guides. One or more such studies have been published by 50 State agencies since 1957. State agencies also publish 

special studies that deal with future manpower supply, characteristics of the work force, changes in State and area 

economics, and the employment structure of industries.

Area skill surveys analyze current and future occupational requirements in individual labor areas. Survey data 

provide a basis for anticipating the occupational needs of area industry and estimating the supply of qualified 

manpower. Some specific topics covered by most area skill surveys are: The occupational composition of current 

employment, by sex and broad age groups; future occupational requirements—usually 2 to 5 years hence; current 

occupational supply and demand situations; the supply of workers expected to be trained over the forecast period; 

information on apprenticeship and other training programs; the number of workers in training; and employer 

opinion regarding the need for pre-employment or supplementary vocational training.

Occupational guides contain information on job duties; employment prospects; working conditions; entry methods; 

advancement opportunities; hours and earnings; and education, training, and experience requirements for individual 

occupations or groups of related occupations. Occupations selected for analysis usually are those important to 

local industries, or those of interest to particular groups, such as young workers.

Special manpower and labor area studies cover a wide variety of subjects, including: (1) manpower projections, 

(2) studies of State and area economics, (3) studies of labor force characteristics, e.g., age, sex, racial composition, 

and (4) industry analyses.

Counselors should request lists and copies of published reports from the reports and analysis section of the 

individual State agencies. Also, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Employment Security has two free 

publications designed to promote wider acquaintance with and increased utilization of labor information issued by 

State employment security agencies. These publications are: (1) Guide to Local Occupational Information, which 

lists occupational guides and area skill surveys issued by State agencies through mid 1966; and (2) Job

Opportunities Information, which lists occupational guides and skill surveys currently in process.

Examples of studies done by State employment security agencies are listed below:

*ARIZONA OCCUPATIONAL BRIEFS. Arizona State Employment Service, Manpower Economics Section, 

Phoenix, Arizona 85005. 1967. 215 pp. Free. Provides counselors and young people with brief and concise

For specific information about jobs in individual States or local areas, counselors should consult the following 

government agencies: (1) State employment service offices and (2) State apprenticeship agencies. The State 

employment service and its local offices have a list of hard-to-fill job vacancies compiled from Bureau of 

Employment Security interarea clearance lists. Such lists are valuable in locating job openings. State apprenticeship 

agencies can provide useful information about training opportunities and requirements in many skilled occupations.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Employment Security, publishes a bimonthly report called AREA

TRENDS IN EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT This publication reports on the adequacy of labor supply 

for 150 major labor areas and a number of smaller ones. Each area is classified into 1 of 6 categories ranging from 

labor shortage to high unemployment. Also presents a roundup of area labor developments, and employment 

outlook for selected industries and occupations.

Job Descriptions

Rapidly changing technology creates many new jobs and destroys many others. Also important, however, are the 

influences of technological advances on job content and, therefore, on the training requirements of occupations. 

Changes in job content are often obscured because job titles remain unchanged.

Job descriptions are available in various types of government publications, including many job guides and wage 

surveys. Some State governments publish handbooks of occupational briefs, which describe those jobs important to 

the State’s economy. The Dictionary o f Occupational Titles, popularly called “THE D.O.T.” is an encyclopedia of 

job definitions and related information.

DICTIONARY OF OCCUPATIONAL TITLES, 3d Edition.

VOLUME I. DEFINITIONS OF TITLES. USDL. Bureau of Employment Security. 1965. 809 pp. $5. 

Alphabetically lists over 36,000 different occupational titles. Defines and identifies by code number almost 23,000

VOLUME II. OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND INDUSTRY INDEX. USDL. Bureau of Employment 

Security. 1965. 656 pp. $4.25. Presents the occupational classification structure developed by the U.S. 

Employment Service, which is arranged under two systems. The first system groups jobs in numerical order 

according to some combination of work field, purpose, material, product, generic terms, and industry. The second 

system groups jobs according to a combination of required general educational development, specific vocational 

preparation, aptitudes, interests, temperaments, and physical demands. Lists all titles by industry.

SELECTED CHARACTERISTICS OF OCCUPATIONS-A SUPPLEMENT TO THE DICTIONARY OF OCCUPATIONAL TITLES. USDL. Bureau of Employment Security. 1966. 280 pp. $2.75. Presents information on physical

Education, Training, and Retraining

Lack of education and training is a basic factor in unemployment. Although steady gains in the educational 

attainment and formal training of American workers have helped them meet the demands of rising job standards 

and shifting occupational patterns, millions still lack basic education and preparation for work. Thus, in March 

1967, more than 750,000 of the unemployed were high school dropouts, and almost 750,000 had finished 8 or 

fewer years of school. These unemployed, because of their limited schooling, have difficulty not only in finding 

new jobs but also in finding training opportunities.

Education and training requirements for employment are increasing steadily. Yet, about 30 percent of all youths 

now drop out of school before finishing the twelfth grade. All aspects of the employment situation are less 

favorable for school dropouts than for young people who have completed at least high school. For example, the 

unemployment rate of school dropouts is much higher than that of high school graduates; dropouts have difficulty 

in obtaining full-time work; the jobs they do get are among the less desirable; and their lack of education 

handicaps them in acquiring training and adapting to technological and occupational changes.

Education and training problems affect manpower and the economy as a whole. Therefore, the Federal 

Government has instituted a number of programs to help achieve a work force using the skills and flexibility 

demanded in today’s world. These programs include, for example, Federal grants to supplement State and local 

expenditures for vocational education and technical training; training institutes for science teachers and assistance 

to medical and dental schools; fellowships for postgraduate work in the natural and social sciences, engineering, 

and other professional fields; and inservice training for Federal civilian employees and the Armed Forces.

Congress has enacted legislation responsive to education and training needs. For example, the Manpower 

Development and Training Act of 1962 and its amendments provide for education and training programs to equip 

the unemployed and underemployed with marketable skills. Under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, workers who 

are laid off or working only part time because of increased imports resulting from tariff concessions are eligible for 

retraining allowances and other financial aid. The Vocational Education Act of 1963 encourages States to establish 

and expand vocational education programs to provide more students with occupational training and help upgrade 

workers’ skills. The Higher Education Act of 1965 provides funds to help financially weak colleges and 

universities; to give financial aid to students; and to improve the quality of undergraduate instruction. Under the 

1963 amendments to the National Defense Education Act, the ceiling on Government loans to college students 

was raised. These amendments also provide increased funds for school counseling and testing. Money was made 

available to purchase a greater variety of teaching equipment in certain subject areas. In addition, the Economic 

Opportunity Act of 1964 established programs to increase opportunities for youth to obtain education, vocational 

training, and useful work experience.

The Department of Labor administers a number of manpower development programs, chiefly, the work-training 

programs (Neighborhood Youth Corps, Job Corps, and others) provided by the Economic Opportunity Act; the 

training activities under the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 (MDTA); and programs to promote 

apprenticeship training.

The various measures taken by the Government generally are designed to strengthen education, training, and 

retraining at all levels and for all groups. It is hoped that these measures lead to a long-run solution of the many 

educational problems.

Information on these problems and programs is available in the publications listed below. (For appenticeship

Financial Assistance To Students

The costs of higher education prevent many gifted young people from attending college. At the same time, 

modern technology is altering manpower requirements towards more education and training. To relieve this 

problem, the Federal Government has developed an extensive program of scholarships, Government loans, and 

Government insured private loans under the National Defense Education Act of 1958. Work-study programs are 

provided by institutions of higher education under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, and outright grants to 

exceptionally needy high school graduates are being made through the Educational Opportunity Grant Program 

authorized by the Higher Education Act of 1965.

Some Federal Government agencies including the Atomic Energy Commission and the National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration separately sponsor financial assistance programs for needy and gifted students, often in 

conjunction with private groups. A vast number of private associations and institutions also give scholarships and 

loans to deserving students.

A new program, set up under the Veterans’ Readjustment Benefits Act of 1966, authorizes aid up to 36 months 

of college or other institutional training for veterans who have had military service since January 1, 1955.

MANPOWER PROBLEM S AND ISSUES

Unemployment and underemployment are two of the country’s major economic problems. Although we have 

experienced rapid economic growth in recent years, we have not been able to improve the quality, adaptability, 

and mobility of the labor force sufficiently to obtain full employment. Even today, in the midst of an economic 

expansion, many workers cannot find employment or are forced to work at jobs that do not make full use of 

their skills and abilities.

Underlying unemployment, underemployment, and other serious manpower problems have been factors such as, a 

swelling labor force, rapid technological innovation, changes in defense requirements, and changes in consumer and 

business demand for goods and services. These developments have altered occupational requirements in favor of 

jobs requiring greater education and training. Employment in white-collar occupations has risen faster than in 

manual occupations. Also, among both blue-collar and white-collar occupations, there has been a shift away from 

jobs requiring relatively little skill.

Other factors contributing to imbalances in manpower supply and demand are the large number of youths who 

lack the education necessary for a rewarding adult life; the unwillingness or inability of many workers to respond 

quickly to employment opportunities and to adjust to changing job requirements; and the existence of serious 

manpower shortages in some occupations while, at the same time, there is a large supply of unused manpower. 

Also, developments such as the rapid growth in the number of young job seekers, along with technological and 

other changes in skill requirements, indicate a long-term persistence of manpower problems.

Our basic manpower problems, as well as measures designed to alleviate them, are the focus of the publications 

annotated in this section.

Defense Expenditures and Manpower Needs

Expenditures for national defense generate a large volume of employment. More than 8.7 million persons were 

employed in defense-related activities in early 1967. More than half of these workers were directly employed by 

the Federal Government—about 3.4 million military personnel and over 1.2 million civilians in the Defense 

Department. Nearly 4.1 million workers were employed in defense-related industries supplying missiles, research 

and development, and other goods and services.

Shifts in the size and types of defense programs can influence overall economic activity. For example, the 

increased importance of missiles has resulted in the need for additional thousands of scientists, engineers, and 

technicians, in some cases aggravating already short supplies. Changes in defense programs have a marked impact in 

States and communities where defense-related employment is a large proportion of total employment. The 

termination of defense contracts often creates pools of unemployment in these areas.

The Federal Government has established various programs to help counteract the employment effects of changing 

defense requirements. For example, the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 and its amendments 

encourage business firms to establish facilities in areas of high unemployment. Defense expenditures can be used as 

a tool to reduce unemployment; under certain conditions, plants in areas of high unemployment may receive 

special consideration in the awarding of contracts.

Depressed Areas

Since World War II, economic growth and employment have lagged in some areas. Shifts in consumer demand, 

technological change, depletion of natural resources, and outmigration of industrial plants have created pockets of 

poverty. Often, these depressed areas are relatively small communities that are heavily dependent upon one 

industry, and offer little diversity of employment opportunities. Provisions of the Manpower Development and 

Training Act of 1962 seek to aid areas of high unemployment by encouraging firms to locate plants in these areas 

and by training unemployed workers to fill existing vacancies and anticipated new jobs. The Public Works and 

Economic Development Act of 1965 is designed to help communities, areas, and regions in the United States 

which are suffering from excessive unemployment or underemployment. Administered by the U.S. Department of 

Commerce, Economic Development Administration, the act provides for financial and technical assistance needed 

to create new jobs. (SEE ALSO: Education, Training, and Retraining, page 34.)

Labor Standards

Legal statutes relating to minimum wage, overtime pay, hours of work, length of workday, minimum age for 

employment, accident compensation, working conditions, social security, unemployment insurance, and more 

recently discriminatory hiring practices, have been enacted to protect the health, wages, general welfare, and rights 

of workers. These laws cover groups in the economy such as women, children, Negroes, and farmworkers, who 

have, in the past, encountered some difficulty in maintaining either their position or rights as workers.

In 1961, Congress amended the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to raise minimum wages and extend the 

coverage of minimum wage and overtime pay laws to new industries, including retail trade. A 1966 amendment 

extended coverage to some farmworkers. Another recent amendment, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, requires that 

men and women receive equal pay for equal work. Other legislation applicable to women covers minimum wage, 

maximum daily and weekly hours, nightwork, meal periods, and industrial homework. The Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission, appointed according to the Civil Rights Act, became effective in July 1965, and has 

moved to eliminate discriminatory practices by employers, unions, and employment offices. Also, there are child 

labor laws that restrict the kinds of work young people may do, and the number of hours they may work while 

school is in session. In addition to Federal labor laws, many State laws are designed to protect the standards of 

work and rights of employees.

Workers dealing with life, health, safety, general welfare, and property usually are required to be licensed. For 

example, professional workers, such as physicians, dentists, pharmacists, teachers, and certified public accountants, 

must be licensed. In addition, workers in more than 100 nonprofessional occupations such as optician, plumber, 

beautician, and well driller, require licenses in one State or more. Licensing requirements differ by State according 

to training, experience, and age.

Technological Change

Technological change promises many social and economic advances including higher standards of living, better 

working conditions, and more leisure time. Advancing technology already has given rise to new industries and new 

jobs, and has relieved men of much heavy physical labor and much dangerous and repetitive work. However, these 

benefits have not been without cost. Although total employment has reached new peaks, unemployment and 

underemployment continue to be serious problems.

Responsibility for trying to reduce the burdens imposed by technological change falls upon employers, workers 

and their representatives, and government. Recognizing their responsibility, all groups have acted to alleviate the 

hardships caused by technological progress. For example, some business firms have established personnel policies 

that call for the reassignment or retraining of displaced workers. Recent labor-management agreements provide for 

early retirements, lump sum severance pay, and relocation allowances. In addition, Congress has enacted legislation 

to provide for the training and retraining of workers. Examples of such legislation are: the Manpower 

Development and Training Act of 1962, as amended; the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964; and the Vocational 

Act of 1963.

Worker Mobility

The efficient allocation of labor depends on both occupational and geographic mobility. In recent years, there 

have been substantial changes in the occupational distribution of employment and in job requirements. Yet, the 

labor force has met this problem without any major difficulties. A rising educational level has been the major 

force behind the rapid and successful adjustment of the labor force to changing occupational requirements. 

Nevertheless, for many individuals occupational mobility is limited by the lack of adequate education and the 

inability to acquire the necessary skills. Geographic mobility is restricted by lack of information and by the 

inability of jobseekers to finance transportation, job search, and change of residence. Moreover, the mobility of 

workers is limited by job discrimination against minority group members and the nontransferability of pension and 

seniority rights from job to job.

The Federal Government is sponsoring studies to aid in the development of policies to increase worker mobility 

while preserving the traditional right of workers to choose their own employment. An amendment to the 

Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 (MDTA) authorizes the Secretary of Labor to carry out a 

number of labor mobility projects designed to assess the feasibility of relocation assistance (grants or loans) in 

reducing unemployment.

Agricultural Migrants

Migrant agricultural workers-numbering about 400,000 in recent years-are an economically and socially 

handicapped group. Their incomes are small and their work is seasonal. Most migrant workers are required to pay 

their own travel and living expenses while they are away from home. The availability of work when they reach 

their destination often is uncertain, as are their wage rates and the duration of work. Generally, they are not 

covered by laws providing for unemployment insurance, or the right to bargain collectively with their employers. 

In addition, migrant workers-with their low levels of education and training-seldom qualify for nonfarm jobs.

The special problems of migratory farmworkers recently have been the focus of attention by Federal, State, and 

local governments. In 1966, the Office of Economic Opportunity approved grants to 76 agencies operating in 35 

States for education, day-care, housing, and sanitation projects for migrant and seasonal farmworkers. 

Approximately 150,000 farmworkers benefited from these programs. In addition, many adult education programs 

have been organized under which farmworkers receive a stipend while attending classes, thus equipping them for 

additional job training programs and better paying jobs.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment Service has expanded its Annual Worker Plan. Under this program, 

workers, employers, and employment service officers attempt to regulate and maximize migrant worker 

employment and plan their work schedules in the most beneficial manner. Under the Smaller Communities 

Program of the Employment Service, detailed information is collected on the manpower resources of rural 

communities in 18 States. This program offers employment services to sparsely populated areas which cannot 

support a permanent office, develops training proposals, and provides placement and counseling services. The Farm 

Labor Service also is experimenting with counseling, training, and relocation programs for rural workers.

Apprentices

Apprenticeship is training for those occupations, commonly known as skilled crafts or trades, that require a wide 

and diverse range of skills and knowledge, as well as extensive work experience. There are about 400 

apprenticeable occupations, representing 90 trades.

Training for craftsmanship under apprenticeship programs is based largely upon on-the-job practice under the 

supervision of a skilled journeyman. Such training is often combined with classroom instruction in the practical 

and theoretical aspects of a trade. Apprenticeship provides a job and, at the same time, a long-term training 

program. The duration of apprenticeships generally ranges from 2 to 6 years, depending upon the complexities of 

the skills involved.

Only a small proportion of young persons currently are being trained in apprenticeship programs. At the end of 

1966, about 208,000 apprentices were covered by programs registered by the Department of Labor or cooperating 

State agencies. Three major trade groups accounted for more than 85 percent of the registered apprentices. 

Fifty-nine percent were in the building trades (in the construction industry and elsewhere), almost 22 percent in 

the metal trades, and 6 percent in the printing trades.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT) has long been promoting 

apprenticeship training by encouraging the establishment of apprenticeship programs and by providing technical 

assistance for setting up such programs. The Bureau works closely with employers, labor, vocational schools, and 

others concerned with apprenticeship programs. In this undertaking, both labor and management have the 

assistance of the Bureau’s field representatives located in each of the 50 States.

Handicapped Workers

Vocational rehabilitation of the almost 2Vi million physically handicapped persons of working age is a major 

problem in the United States. In addition, about 3 million mentally retarded persons are considered to have 

potential for earning a living. Despite their impairments, handicapped workers, as a group, have proven themselves 

to be efficient and dependable. After sufficient training they can compete with nonhandicapped workers. 

Placement of the handicapped, however, is hindered by bias on the part of many employers who believe that 

handicapped workers lack the ability and dedication to perform well on the job.

Action to combat employer prejudices is being taken on many fronts. For example, the Federal Coordination 

Program for Employment of the Handicapped, established in 1964, placed 9,000 handicapped workers in Federal 

Government jobs the first year, and 17,000 in 1966. Similarly, a cumulative total of 3,900 mentally retarded 

workers have been placed in 39 Federal Government agencies between the program’s initiation in 1964 and late 

1967. In addition, hundreds of mentally retarded persons are being trained annually for many different 

occupations under this program. The Vocational Rehabilitation Act amendments of 1965 made possible increased 

Federal participation in the rehabilitation of the severely handicapped. Handicapped workers who lose their jobs in 

distressed areas, or who are unemployed for long periods, may qualify for assistance under Federal manpower 

training and retraining programs. In addition, much work has been done by voluntary associations and large 

industrial employers to help the handicapped.

Minority Groups

The enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 marked the efforts of the Federal Government to put an end to 

discrimination in the hiring and career advancement of minority groups. However, Negroes and other minority 

groups often are disadvantaged because of a lack of education and training. Although the economic status of 

Negroes has improved steadily in recent decades, they still lag behind the majority of citizens in economic 

well-being. Negroes continue to be concentrated in the low-skilled occupations and their rate of unemployment is 

about twice that for white workers. Members of other minority groups—for example, Puerto Ricans and 

Mexicans—have the additional problem of language barriers.

Federal efforts to promote equal job opportunities for Negroes and other minority groups have been intensified in 

recent years. The Economic Opportunity Act, enacted in 1964, is designed to improve the motivation, skills, 

employability, and social outlook of the young people of the country. Under the Manpower Development and 

Training Act, members of minority groups are being prepared for occupations that offer greater stability of 

employment. Also, in January 1964, the U.S. Department of Labor issued regulations barring the registration of 

apprenticeship programs that fail to ensure equality of opportunity.

Older Workers

Although older workers are less likely than younger workers to lose their jobs, those who become unemployed 

often face serious difficulties in getting new jobs and may remain unemployed for long periods. Older workers are 

likely to have less formal education than younger people and their education may not be keyed to current 

occupational demands; they often encounter hiring age limits set by employers; and they may find it difficult to 

move to areas offering greater employment opportunities because of home ownership, and family and other 

community ties. Older workers also may be forced to take jobs that make little or no use of their previously 

acquired skills and experience.

In recent years, both the Federal and State Governments have taken steps to meet the problems of older workers. 

Notable among these steps is the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 (MDTA), which provides for 

training of unemployed and underemployed workers who lack the skills needed in today’s labor market. Recent 

amendments to MDTA provide for basic literacy training. Provision is made for subsistence allowances during the 

training period and relocation allowances designed to assist individuals leaving an area to find appropriate 

employment. Similarly, the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 established several programs that offer financial 

support or pay training costs for needy adults who enroll in projects intended to eliminate illiteracy and raise their 

levels of education or training.

Other programs include the assignment of older worker specialists to a number of State employment service 

agencies that are cooperating with training, rehabilitation, and welfare agencies serving older workers.

pages. 25 cents. Provides a basic guide to the legal problems of retirement and instances when a lawyer should be

Part-Time Workers

One of the notable postwar changes in the utilization of this country’s manpower is a marked increase in part-time 

employment-employment for fewer than 35 hours a week. The great bulk of such employment is voluntary in the 

sense that the workers are not seeking full-time employment. Part-time workers are primarily housewives and 

students who are not available or willing to work full-time because of family, school, or other obligations. Another 

large group is composed of semiretired persons and others who prefer not to work a full week, or cannot because 

of ill health or partial disability.

Workers on part-time for economic reasons are those who want full-time work but cannot find it, or who are 

employed on jobs that are ordinarily full-time but have been cut back because of business conditions. In 1966, 

these workers accounted for nearly one-sixth of the total part-time employed.

The recent prolonged period of prosperity has helped the employment situation of those seeking part-time work. 

Employment among full-time workers rose 1.8 million in 1966, 230,000 less than in 1965; the increase in 1966 

among part-time workers was 600,000, double that for the previous year.

Veterans

The serviceman who returns to civilian life has several alternatives as to what his future work status will be. He 

may choose to return to the job he held prior to entering the service, or he may decide to obtain training to 

better equip him in the civilian world of work.

The Universal Military Training and Service Act of 1947 guarantees to the veteran the same seniority, status, and 

pay he would have received if he had continued his employment from the time of his entering the Armed Forces 

until the time of his reemployment. Training allowances are available under the Manpower Development and 

Training Act of 1962, as amended, to ex-servicemen who are enrolled in vocational school programs to learn a skill 

needed in industry. On-the-job training and other programs for veterans are also available under the MDTA. Under 

the benefits of the Veterans Readjustment Act of 1966, veterans can receive aid for up to 36 months of college or 

other institutional training.

In addition to the training and education programs available to veterans, efforts are being made to make Armed 

Forces training equip the serviceman with skills and experience that will aid him in obtaining a civilian occupation 

as well as for his duties while in the service.

Women and Girls

The rising number of women workers and their expanding job opportunities attests to their growing contribution 

to economic activity. Between 1966 and 1980, the number of women in the labor force is expected to rise from 

about 28 million to 36 million, an increase of about 29 percent.

For some time women have been faced with problems that limit the full realization of their economic potential. 

For example, since women’s occupational role traditionally has been narrowly conceived, the extent of their 

education and training often has been limited. Consequently, many of the lowest paid jobs in manufacturing and 

service industries have been filled by women. Many barriers to the employment of women were dropped when the 

Civil Rights and Equal Pay Acts of 1964 were enacted.

Since many married women now enter the labor market because home and family responsibilities take less time, 

they need specialized guidance and counseling in making decisions concerning education, employment 

opportunities, and leisure time activities. Women returning to work after years of homemaking often have job 

placement problems, because the skills they once possessed are obsolete. Young girls need to be made aware of the 

careers open to them and encouraged to enter occupations where their greatest interests lie.

Youth

An unprecedented number of young people will enter the labor force in the next few years. Although job 

prospects for young people who complete college will be highly favorable, school dropouts will face major job 

problems since, in many of the occupations traditionally open to them, employment is expected to increase 

slowly or, in some cases, decline. Also, many of the jobs for which dropouts qualify offer little security.

Unemployment is much higher among young people than adults. Because youths are relatively inexperienced and 

lack seniority they are often vulnerable to layoffs. Also, young people frequently quit jobs in hope of finding 

some suitable career fields.

The employment problems of many youths are complicated not only by inadequate training, but also because they 

lack vocational guidance and motivation. The special handicaps faced by racial minorities, rural youths, and 

physically or mentally handicapped youths create additional employment problems.

The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 is heavily oriented toward aiding young workers. The Job Corps, 

Neighborhood Youth Corps, and Work-Study Program, established under the Act, enable young people to gain 

more education, vocational training, and work experience. Counselors and other educators, parents, representatives 

of management and labor, and government officials, both at the national and local level, face the challenge of 

developing action programs or in revising existing programs. This section provides examples of literature dealing 

with the special employment problems, policies, and programs concerning young workers.

SCHOOL DROPOUTS

A boy or girl who enters today’s job market without a usable skill is severely handicapped. For example, in 

October 1965, more than 1 of every 5 high school dropouts was unemployed-almost twice the ratio of high 

school graduates. The situation for dropouts can be expected to become worse in the coming years, because 

workers without a high school diploma will have increasing difficulty entering those expanding occupations where 

education and training qualifications are high.

Dropouts are handicapped, not only by their lack of education and experience, but also by the unfavorable image 

that dropouts have among employers. Dropping out of school often suggests lack of motivation and perseverance, 

difficulty in learning, and the absence of other qualifications that employers look for in job applicants.

SOURCES OF ST A T IS T IC S U SEFU L TO CO UN SELO RS

Federal and State Government agencies compile and publish a great variety of statistical information that details 

the characteristics of our population and labor force. Much of this information can be useful to counselors. For 

example, such statistics provide information on the number employed in an occupation; whether its workers are 

geographically concentrated or dispersed; whether the occupation employs more men than women, more white 

than nonwhite, more young persons than old; and the industries in which its workers are employed. Counselors 

can use such information to identify jobs for youth or to help determine the relative importance of particular 

occupations and industries in their localities.

The purpose of this section is to familiarize counselors with employment and related statistics available from 

several major Federal, State, and local sources. Examples of how counselors can use the statistics are given. The 

sources depict the social and economic characteristics of State and local populations or those of the Nation as a 

whole. These sources supply three main types of data; employment by occupation and industry, current 

employment and unemployment, and wages.

(See also: Occupational and Industry Manpower Literature, page 4.)

I. Employment by Occupation And Industry

a. The U.S. Census o f Population, compiled and published every tenth year, is the most comprehensive source of 

statistical information on employment by occupation and industry. The most recent Census data are for 1960. 

Counselors will find that the most useful of the many Census reports are those called “Detailed Characteristics,” 

which are available for each State. These reports provide information on the population’s social characteristics such 

as age, race, school enrollment, and school years completed; and economic characteristics, such as occupation and 

industry of employment, weekly hours of work, and income. For some characteristics, metropolitan areas with 

population exceeding 100,000 are tabulated separately.

b. Employment and Earnings Statistics for States and Areas, 1939-66 (reissued each year) provides historical data 

on employment, average weekly hours, and hourly and weekly earnings, by industry, for States and metropolitan 

areas. The major industries of each State and area are included.

These two statistical sources can help counselors obtain data for many of the employment characteristics of State 

and local areas. By examining Employment and Earnings Statistics for States and Areas, 1939-66, a counselor in 

Salt Lake City, Utah, for example, can determine many facts about employment in his local area and State. In 

1966, there were 319,200 persons employed in nonagricultural jobs in the State of Utah. More than half of these 

people were employed in the Salt Lake City area. Most workers in the State were employed by government, 

wholesale and retail trade, or manufacturing concerns. Employment of government workers has increased rapidly 

between 1956 and 1966, rising from 54,700 to 90,900. Employment in the bituminous coal industry has been 

falling over the last few years. In 1956, there were 3,100 people employed in the industry; in 1966 only 1,400 

people were so employed. Over sixty percent of those employed in Utah contract construction worked in the Salt 

Lake City area.

Utah counselors can find information about the occupations and industries in which workers in both Utah and the 

Salt Lake City area are employed in U.S. Census o f Population: 1960 Detailed Characteristics, Utah.3 According 

to this source, for example, there were 5,052 employed carpenters in 1960; nearly 3,500 of them worked in the 

contract construction industry. About 243 employed pharmacists were employed in the Salt Lake City area. In 

1959, their average (mean) earnings were $6,238, and nearly one-sixth earned between $7,000 and $9,999.

3 Industry employment totals for 1960 in Employment and Earnings Statistics for States and Areas, 1939-66, and in the U.S.

Census o f Population differ for several technical reasons. For example, establishment data in the former publication covers wage 

and salary workers only and are obtained from the payrolls of industrial establishments; Census data cover all workers in an 

industry (wage and salary, self-employed, and unpaid family workers) and are obtained through household interviews.

c. County Business Patterns furnishes detailed data on employment in industries, by county. State summaries and 

a U.S. summary are published annually. The latest U.S. summary contains data for the first quarter of 1966.

Whereas Employment and Earnings for States and Areas, 1939-66, gives employment data only for large industries, 

by State and metropolitan area, County Business Patterns provides such data for all industries, by county. Hence, 

counselors located outside metropolitan areas (e.g. small cities and rural areas) will find the data in this publication 

particularly useful. It shows, for example, that 108 persons were employed in furniture stores in the Kent County 

of Rhode Island in mid-March 1966.

d. Employment and Earnings Statistics for the United States, 1909-67 (reissued every year) furnishes historical 

average annual employment data for over 350 nonagricultural industries. Data are included on employment, by 

sex; production workers; hourly and weekly earnings; and overtime hours. The data in this publication are the 

national totals of the data for individual States published in Employment and Earnings Statistics for States and

Areas, 1939-66.

II. Current Employment and Unemployment

Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force, presents comprehensive monthly statistics on 

the Nation’s labor force; employment and unemployment trends; numbers of workers, and production workers; 

weekly hours; hourly and weekly earnings; payroll and man-hour indexes; and labor turnover rates. In addition, for 

States and selected metropolitan areas, statistics are provided on employment in major industries, gross hours and 

earnings of production workers, and labor turnover rates in manufacturing.4 An annual supplement provides 

annual averages for all series for recent years.

Counselors can find much useful information in this publication. For example, in May 1967 manufacturing 

production workers in Denver, Colorado, averaged $123.62 for a 42.2 hour workweek; total nonagricultural 

employment in Waterloo, Iowa increased from 48,600 in April 1967 to 49,400 in May 1967. Most of the 

employment increase in Waterloo in this period was in manufacturing, which increased from 20,700 to 21,300.

Statistics. Published monthly. $7 a year; 65 cents an issue.

III. Wages and Income

Community Wage Surveys are published annually by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for 86 labor areas. These 

studies are designed to provide data on occupational earnings, establishment practices, and supplementary wage 

provisions. The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing 

industries and are grouped as follows: Office clerical; professional and technical; maintenance and powerplant; and 

custodial and materials movement. The following examples of the types of information published are from a 

March 1965 wage survey of the Cincinnati, Ohio - Kentucky area: 660 maintenance electricians had average hourly 

earnings of $3.26; one-half of the maintenance electricians earned between $2.93 and $3.51 an hour.

Industry Wage Surveys, conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, provide information on the average 

straight-time earnings of workers in particular industries, such as basic iron and steel, foundries, and motor 

vehicles. Two types of industry wage surveys are conducted: (1) Those providing information on the average and 

distribution of employee earnings without regard to occupation; and (2) those providing information for selected 

occupations representative of jobs in particular industries. These surveys usually include information on 

supplementary benefits, e.g., paid holidays and paid vacations. From the surveys above, counselors can compare 

the earnings of workers in an occupation in various regions and metropolitan areas.

Union Scale Studies are published annually by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provide information on the 

minimum wage scales and maximum schedules of hours at straight time rates agreed upon through collective 

bargaining in selected metropolitan areas. Such studies are available for building trades workers, local transit 

operating employees, motortruck drivers and employees, printing industry workers, and others. Counselors can use 

this information to compare union scales for particular occupations in their areas with those of other areas and the 

Nation as a whole.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, has published statistical studies of 36 cities that 

provide information on population, male civilian labor force, high school enrollment, educational attainment, 

income level, and unemployment, by ethnic group and neighborhood. Based on data collected during the 1960 

Census of Population, these studies were made to help meet the needs of the President’s Committee on Youth 

Employment for information on area environmental factors that could be associated with disadvantaged youth. 

These studies were prepared for cities that had populations of 500,000 or more, as well as for a few smaller cities.

APPENDIX A. HOW TO OBTAIN GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS

The largest dealer in Government reports, pamphlets, and books is the Superintendent of Documents of the U.S. 

Government Printing Office. Approximately 25,000 pieces of mail are delivered each day in the world’s largest 

printing house. These requests, orders, and inquiries reflect impressions of the Government Printing Office held in 

the mind of the public. Following are a few popular impressions-Are they true or false?

1. The GPO is a huge information agency that deals with all documents published by the Federal Government.

False. Although the GPO’s Division of Public Documents, commonly known as Superintendent of Documents, 

maintains a reference department, searching is limited to identification of the titles available in its sales stock of 

over 25,000 different publications.

2. Because of its size, GPO is necessarily slow in filling orders.

False. Despite its size and heavy workload, GPO processes most orders relatively quickly; it compares favorably 

with its counterpart in private industry, the mail-order house. Many delays occur because of insufficient ordering 

information from the customer. Another frequent time-consuming error is the attempt by customers to order 

publications through the various Government agencies in Washington, D.C. Most agencies cannot sell publications 

and, therefore, must refer orders to the Superintendent of Documents.

3. The Government pays the postage on most publications ordered from GPO.

True. The price charged for Government publications includes the postage required to send them by regular mail to 

addresses in the United States.

4. GPO allows a discount on large orders.

True. A 25-percent discount is allowed on orders for 100 copies or more of the same publication mailed to one 

address. The discount can mean a big saving when a person is ordering for several classes or for different schools in 

the same system.

5. The GPO is an excellent source of free Government literature.

False. The GPO is not a source of free literature. It does the printing for the Congress, Executive Office, the 

judiciary, all executive departments, independent offices, and establishments of the Government, and sells to the 

public through its Superintendent of Documents.

For a free copy of a publication write directly to the issuing agency or department in Washington, D.C. If you do 

not know which Government agency issued the publication, consult your librarian. Bear in mind, however, that 

the issuing agencies have only limited supplies of their priced publications for free distribution.

Many people, when writing to a particular Government agency for a free copy of a publication, tack onto the 

address “Government Printing Office” or “c/o Superintendent of Documents.” This practice amounts to a 

conflicting address and the post office will always deliver such letters to the GPO. Thus, your request for free 

material is classified as a “sales” transaction.

To make sure you will get a copy of the publication you want, it is safer to purchase it directly through the sales 

agent, the Superintendent of Documents. With very few exceptions, a remittance should not be sent directly to a 

Government agency. They are not authorized to handle such remittances and must either refer your order to GPO, 

or return it to you. Some agencies, however, do maintain regional offices throughout the country which, in

79

Digitized for FRASER 

http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ 

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
addition to their specific functions, sell the publications prepared by their own agency. The Labor Department’s 

Bureau of Labor Statistics, which has eight regional offices, is a case in point. (For BLS regional office addresses, 

see Appendix B, page 83.)

How To Order

Many avoidable errors are made in ordering publications through the GPO. Be sure to include all of the following 

information: Title of the publication, quantity, price, your name and address, and the remittance.

If the need should arise to check on publications not received, all of the original identifying information should be 

restated in your inquiry. Preferably, an exact copy of the purchase order should be sent. References to the 

sender’s purchase order number or the date of the original order are meaningless to the GPO in trying to locate 

your order. Should a second followup be necessary, include all identifying information and state that this is the 

second followup. In this way, the search will not be duplicated.

Various Methods

Schools, boards of education, and other State and local agencies, in ordering publications from the Superintendent 

of Documents, may meet a seeming impasse: the GPO must have remittance before shipment; the schools cannot 

issue checks until publications have been delivered. In order to reconcile these differences, several systems have 

been devised to accommodate schools and other agencies. The following sections describe these systems.

Claim Voucher: One system of ordering involves claim vouchers, which are blank forms designed, printed, and 

used by individual schools. These vouchers are as varied in size, color, and text as they are in number. Whether 

attached to a purchase order or combined with one in a single form, the voucher basically states that the vendor 

(GPO) has delivered goods and has not received payment.

When such a claim voucher is received with a purchase order by the Superintendent of Documents, personnel there 

will stamp the voucher “Pro Forma Invoice,” fill it out in accordance with the purchase order, sign, and even 

notarize it if requested to do so. Any changes in titles or prices are made on the voucher and purchase order. Both 

forms are then returned to the school or agency, which processes them and issues a check. The purchase order is 

then resubmitted with the covering check and the sale is transacted.

Pro Forma Invoice: This system is similar to the claim voucher system, except that the piece of paper necessary to 

support the disbursement is not preprinted by the school but is supplied by the Superintendent of Documents, on 

request. The pro forma invoice is filled out, as is the claim voucher, to conform with the purchase order, signed, 

notarized if necessary, and sent out to the school. There it is processed, a check is issued, and the purchase order 

and one copy of the pro forma invoice are resubmitted with the check.

Note that the first step in both the claim voucher and pro forma invoice systems is merely preliminary paperwork. 

No sale is transacted until the paper is returned with the check. Up until that point, the GPO has kept no record 

of the transaction, has not reserved publications, and has made no shipments. In fact, GPO does not guarantee 

that prices will remain the same or that publications will be available until the sale is consummated, although 

ordinarily discrepancies do not occur.

Certified Invoice; Paid Receipt: Many schools and agencies, either through special funds or by agreement with 

their disbursing officials, are able to send checks with their order but require a certified invoice or paid receipt to

80

Digitized for FRASER 

http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ 

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
support the disbursement of these funds. The Superintendent of Documents provides these either on forms 

provided by the schools or by issuing its own receipts, and the forms are sent with the shipment of publications. 

This system avoids the necessity of resubmitting the purchase order and thereby expedites shipment.

Combination Systems

The following two methods of ordering are growing in popularity. Both methods are simple to set up and are paid 

for by just one check which is issued in accordance with the system described above (claim voucher, pro forma 

invoice, or certified invoice) which best suits a particular school.

Coupons. Special document coupons in 5-cent denominations are sold by the GPO in sets of 20. Discrepancies in 

price can be corrected and refunds made through this convenient means of exchange. The Superintendent of 

Documents, which as a rule makes refunds of less than $1 in the form of coupons, finds them so popular that 

many customers request that all refunds be made in that form.

Schools using these coupons generally are small or are branches of larger school systems. In many cases, the board 

of education might purchase several hundred dollars worth of coupons and distribute blocks of $25 or $50 to its 

various schools.

Depositors* Accounts. Even more popular-and most suitable for schools which order rather frequently from the 

GPO-are the depositors’ accounts. More than 40,000 of them are currently in use. Probably the ideal ordering 

system for schools, these accounts can be opened for as little as $25. This method of ordering provides the 

maximum convenience for schools and State agencies, because it enables them to avoid obtaining quotations, 

sending individual remittances, and preparing claim vouchers for each order.

When such an account is opened, an individual account number is assigned, a supply of special depositors’ order 

blanks is forwarded to the new depositor, and orders are filled as soon as they are received. Annotations are made 

on the order blanks as to the status of any nondelivered goods and are sent to the depositor, showing charges 

made and balance on hand. The Superintendent of Documents will advise the depositor when this balance becomes 

low. There is no charge for maintaining a deposit account.

With these last two methods, the check to cover the cost is procured through the system ordinarily used by the 

school. But in these instances the purchase order would read, for example, “Special Document Coupons: $50” or 

“For Depositor’s Account: $100.” The accompanying claim voucher or pro forma invoice, if requested, would be 

executed by the Superintendent of Documents and sent to the school. The check that would then be issued by 

the school or agency would cover the cost of several months’ or perhaps a year’s supply of Government 

publications and would eliminate many separate paper processings. Use of coupons or depositors’ accounts also 

facilitates the ordering of low-price publications and subscriptions which might otherwise not have been placed, 

being thought of as “not worth all that paperwork.”

Points to Remember

1. Do include all the necessary identifying information when ordering publications from GPO.

2. Do write directly to the issuing agency for publications meant for free distribution. Do not add “GPO” to the 

address.

3. Do not add postage when totaling your bill if you want the publications sent by regular mail. Do add the 

postage if you request air mail, special delivery, or foreign delivery. One-fourth of the purchase price of 

publications should be added for foreign mail.

4. Do not send cash or postage stamps in payment. Do send check or money order, payable to the Superintendent 

of Documents, or special document coupons with your order unless you are charging the publications against your 

depositor’s account.

5. Do remember the 25-percent discount allowed on orders for 100 copies or more of the same publication to be 

mailed to one address. You may find that you can consolidate your order with that of another teacher or 

counselor.

6. Do keep abreast of current Government publications for sale. Request that your name be added to the growing 

list (now over 1 million) of those who receive free the semimonthly list of selected Government publications. (See 

page 76 for information on how to obtain this list.)

7. Do separate any request for information from a direct order. If you do not, your order will be held up until 

the search for information has been completed.

Requests for information and orders for priced publications should be addressed to the Superintendent o f

Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C 20402.

APPENDIX E. FED ERA L DEPOSITORY LIBR ARIES

Certain libraries throughout the United States are designated depositories for Government publications. Through 

them Federal Government publications are made available to residents of every State, the District of Columbia, 

and Puerto Rico.

It is sometimes impossible to obtain desired publications from the Superintendent of Documents. Stocks may have 

been exhausted or the document may be out of print. In these instances, the depository libraries render an 

invaluable service by keeping such publications permanently available. Not every Government publication can be 

found at all depository libraries, as each library selects the classes of publications of interest to its particular 

clientele. The depository libraries are, nevertheless, an excellent source for locating Government published 

manpower and other counseling information.

The following list shows the location and names of each of the depository libraries as of February 1967. Those 

libraries designated as REGIONAL receive and retain at least one copy of all Government publications made 

available to depositories and provide interlibrary loans and reference services for the other depository libraries 

located within their region.
