Madison - Outdoor employ
ment in Wisconsin has increased
greatly during the past month, but
factory work remains stationary, the
state industrial commission reported
today.
The iron ore shipping season has
opened, giving employment to train
men and dock workers in the vicinity
of Ashland Conditions at other en-
ployment centers were reported as
follows:
Green Bay-Employment less IA
vorable than year ago. Industrial
plants appear to operate as usual but
to date the volume of local building
construction is relatively small. Re-
quests for farm help equal the rec
ord of last year and all orders are
filled promptly.
La Crosse-There is a surplus of
labor in practically all lines, includ-
ing the building trades. The local
labor market is quite inactive from
building construction line there is
little new of Importance other than
100000 addition to the Grand View
hospital.
Madison-The settlement of new
contracts in the building trades and
an increase in requests for skilled
mechanics for shop work are fea-
lures of the past month. There are
now openings for experienced ma
chinists, lathe hands, pattern makers,
grinders and tool makers, and calls
for building construction workers and
road workers are increasing.
Two local establishments manu-
featuring batteries are expected to in
crease their labor forces during the
coming month, although just at pres
ent no additional help is called for.
Farm help is in good demand. ID
Milwaukee-Em Employment conditions
in Milwaukee are fairly good. Build
ing constructions under way at this
time as measured by volume of per-
mits issued approximates eleven mil
lion dollars, this being little above
the record of last year. There is a
considerable surplus of unskilled
labor in part due to the influx of I'M
employed men from other cities. The
demand for farm help is smaller than
at this time year ago. Except for
skilled mechanics in the metal trades,
the demand for factory help is rather
slow.
Oshkosh-The local labor supply
and demand are about y equal with
good employment conditions prevail
ing generally. Woodworking plants
are running full time but are not en-
ploying additional help. Textile
trades are operating below normal. A
small surplus of common labor exists
and the shortage of farm help has
been considerably reduced the past
month. The metal trades are active
and there are untitled orders for
skilled mechanics. Shortage of good
domestics and surplus of clerks and
office help.
Racine-The labor market carries a
surplus of handworkers for metal
trades. Factory employment is gen
orally the same as last month. In the
building lire we report an addition
to a school, numbers of private resi-
dences and garages, altogether show
ing a total permit volume slightly in
excess of 100000.
Superior-An apparent lull in in
dustrial operations generally has
brought an increased number of un-
employed to this city. LAUNDERING
and mining operations appear to be
slow with the result that an excess of
labor for these lines is found here,
The skilled employment tradesmen
are we'll employed since the opening
of the construction season.
Wausau-Local tradesmen of all
classes have steady employment while
there is a surplus of common labor
A packing plant, normally employing
forty men, has recently been placed
under receivership and woodworking
plant, usually employing about thirty
men has discontinued business. The
construction program is relatively
small this year. No employment OPP
portunities are in view for those who
are now unemployed.
Kenosha is not included in the
above survey by reason of the fact
that no state employment bureau Is
located in this city. A survey car
/ ried on here revealed that this city
| is also enjoying an increase In out
] door employment; records of the
building inspection department as
made public recently showed that the
] largest building program in the his
tory Of the city is now underway.
