PUBLIC EMPLOYM'NT
BUREAU OF STATE
CALIFORNIA

That the Public Employment Bur-
eaus of the State of California are
making vast inroads on the business
Of the private employment bureaus is
pparent from the large volume of
business transacted by this new state
institution during the past seven
months. Labor Commissioner John
r. McLaughlins report, just issued,
shows that the state has been instru
mental in finding positions for the
large army of 26,914 men and wo-
men since February /, and saving
them approximately $4,000 in fees.
The states employment business is
steadily increasing, the month Of Aug
rst being the banner period, when
1852 positions were filled, 1888 more
than in July.
The efficient business methods have
convinced private corporations, COM
Ipanies and private employers that
they can obtain dependable service
from the state and this attitude has
brought about the enormous business
o. California's youngest institution.
The state employment bureaus have
received 34,152 applications for en-
ployes during the past seven months.
I31,303 persons were sent to fill these
positions, and of this number 26,914
were engaged. In all 27,918 men and
women have applied for work. The
great majority of the positions filled
were permanent.
Of the 1862 positions filled in Aug
ust, 3499 were outside of the cities of
San Francisco, Sacramento and Los
Angeles, where the bureaus are To-
ted, or 1O46 more than were llled in
these cities.
The positions of this month were
divided among 5244 men and 7OS wo-
tren.
The distribution Of positions by the
state since February l, is interesting:
Agriculture, 2707; food, beverages
and tobacco, 1853; building and con-
struction, 1852; clerical and profess
sional, PAP; hotels and restaurants,
3348; lumber, 632; metals and machin-
cry, 578; mining, oil and quarries, 339;
printing and publishing, g.; transporta-
tion and public utilities, 6O25, whole
sale and retail trade, 538; wood work
ing and furniture, 68; casual work
ers, 1854; manufacturing, $40; private
homes, 1862; miscellaneous, 6638. In
this list is included practically every
kind of work. The positions were
filled by 23,118 men and 1896 women.
While the state has done remark
ably well in filling positions, never
theless many more positions could have
been filled if there had been a suffi-
Gent supply of suitable employees who
were willing to accept out-of- town
work. At the four bureaus, during the
past two months, from 1000 to 1900
jobs have gone begging, the wages be-
ing from 81 to So per day. The posi-
tions included section work, state high
way, concrete, quarry, packing house,
street, mucking, mining and kindred
work. Idleness among people who are
able to perform such out-of town work
is therefore inexcusable.
County and city officers, Chambers
OF Commerce and various civic organi-
cations can do effective work in con-
Meeting employees with jobs if they
would cooperate with the state en-
IpiOyment bureaus.
