On March II, there was a total OF

to the lists in the active files. In 43

turning to relief work CRWA) jobs.
The National Unemployment Service
operates offices in IS counties of the
state, while the Minnesota State En-
ployment Service has jurisdiction over
the counties in Hennepin and Ramsey
and the city of Duluth.
Since the first of the year more than
$4,000 registrantS have come to the
Unemployment Office to give additional
information regarding their past work
experience, to the end that they may
be placed on the job for which they are
best fitted During the week ending
March II, more than $4,000 persons
came to these offices as new applicants,
to be registered or re-interviewed.
During January there were registered
a total of 52295 in the state During
February 20,754 were registered. The
placements for men is given as 18,497
for January and 10,472 in February.

3,143 in the two months. Private en-
ployment took $3.50 The CWA fur
nished places for 4,497 and private
work took 1912 of the women registered.

,,lo1,yyooy,4 ri,yr;,,oy +Iaca tvr,o months 60
per cent were from agriculture and
forestry, largely farmers: 9 per cent
came from building and construction
industries, and approximately 2 per
cent from transportation and COM
munication The remainder was scat
tered over a number of different in
dustries. Approximately Sc per cent of
the women who applied for work had
been engaged in domestic and personal
service; Is per cent in commercial SER
vice; per cent in professional SER
vice land the remainder from various
groups.
It is to be noted that in January only
per cent of the total placements were
made with private employers, but in
February the proportion reached "a per
cent.
All placements on Public Works and
Civil Works jobs are made by the Ma
tional Unemployment or Minnesota
State Employment Service. Placements
of workers on R. w. A. projects are also
being handled by the National Re-
employment Service. The selection of
the latter workers, however, is made on
the basis of need by the relief offices,
and certified to the Unemployment
Service, which places the men on jobs
for which they are best fitted.
Partly because of the interest in
Federal work programs in the state,
the unemployed in unusually large
numbers have registered. Complete ex-
perience records of these applicants
have been secured, with the result that
the Service is especially well equipped
to furnish highly qualified applicants
to a diversity of work openings.
The employer may consult the files
of the Unemployment Service for per-
sons most qualified. An opportunity is
thereby presented the private employer
to secure only the type of help which
will improve the efficiency of his or
ganization At the same time the en-
ployee viii be offered, as the demand
arises, the type of work which he en-
joys most and on which he is most
efficient.
The service offered is free to en-
ployee and employer alike and it is
gratifying to notice the response which
has been forthcoming in many parts of
the state.
