Training Is Speeded
To Meet Skilled
Labor Shortage
Efficiency Increases;
JobIess Problem to
Persist in l94l
By Cambridge Associates.

By Cambridge Associates.
In the late months of 1910 nearly
4700O000 people were employed IN
the United States. Yet in these
same months the army of the un-
employed numbered about 100000
persons and, despite that continued
mobilization OF all resources for de-
fense production, there is small
hope that the unemployed will be
less than 100000 at the end of the
year.
This paradox of high productive
ity and continued unemployment is
accountable by several factors.
First, output per man hour has in
creased greatly in the past decade
Production can be boosted consid-
erably by simply adding an hour to
the work week.
The average work week now IS
about 80 hours, about one hour
more per week than at the 1899
year end When over 40 hours are
worked, of course, employees must
be paid at the time -andhalf rate
under the Wages and Hours Act.
1t is evident that bottlenecks are
being relieved in many cases in this
way rather than by wholesale hir-
ing of additional workers.
Growth of Worker Reserves.
Another point to remember is the
steady increase in the number of
people of employable age. 1t IS
estimated that more than a halt
million more persons become work
seekers each year than retire as
employees or emplovableS.
A third factor Is the present con-
centrated demand for skilled work.
ers. Appropriations already made
by CONGRESS- for the defense pro-
gram will provide for 4.5O0OOO man
years of work of all kinds, skilled,
semiskilled and unskilled. So far.
however. the pinch has come in
filling the skilled and semiskilled
Jobs. The reservoir of unskilled
workers shows little signs of dimin-
ishing rapidly.
How to make Semiskilled workers
of the unskilled and skilled work.
ers of the semiskilled, to over
come the shortages in the higher
classifcations, is problem to which
both industry and Government are
devoting increasing attention. In
dividual corporations are pushing
their training and apprenticeship
programs to meet the crying need
for expert machinists, technical
workers, craftsmen. engineers, etc.
Training Programs Launched.
Since last June Congress has
appropriated over s100,000,000 for
training and refreshing" programs.
Seven Government agencies are
concerned with labor supply and
training, chief among them. the
Office of Education. the w. P. A..
the C. C. C. and the National Youth
Administration Under these agen-
cies thousands of apprentices are
being trained for parts in the de-
fense program and many older
workers are recovering skills IN
which they were once practiced.
Obviously, while the defense pro-

u. s. Consumer Aided
As Cash Increases;
Prices Steady
Highest Reel Income
In Nations History
Reported for 1910
BY Cambridse Associates.

BY Cambridse Associates.
Real income of the average
consumer-that is, his cash income
in terms of the household budget
set a new record in 1910. Only in
two years in the Nations history
was the national cash income higher.
At no time was total cash income
worth so much in food, clothing,
shelter. light. heat and sundrles.
And the 1941 outlook for consumer
incomes is distinctly encouraging.
The remarkable factor is not the
increase in the national cash income
as production scared under the in
fluence of war and defense orders.
1t is the way the consumer prices
have held steady during this year
of tremendous business activity.
Where John A. Consumer spent
a dollar for food in 1889 he only had
to spend s1O2, on the average, in
1910 In buying food and in provld-
ing for the housing needs of his
family in 1910, Sl0l would do the
work of a dollar in the previous year
and s1O2. again. would buy what
was dollars worth of miscellaneous
goods and services in 1889.
Slight Rise Seen.
During recent months there have
been very small increases in retail
prices. This trend is likely to con-
tinue. 1t is possible that the end
of another year may find the price
level of consumer goods 5 per cent
to 7 per cent higher than at present.
But there seems no greater threat
to living standards here if national
cash income mounts according to
forecasts.
In considering the increases that
have occurred, and in appraising the
future price trend, it is important
to remember that the general level
Of wholesale prices is still about 20
per cent under that of 1926, 16 per
cent under the price level OF 1929,
and rs per cent below the 1887
level.
1941 Outlook Favorable.
AS long as the nations produc-
tivity is high, the citizens of the
United States can we'll afford both
guns and butter. Even the huge
armament program now under way
will not bite deeply into the pocket

Looking no farther than 1941,
however, it seems certain that cash
incomes will remain high, that
prices will not get out of line, and
that so far as John A. Consumer
is concerned the higher income and
excise taxes will be borne quite
easily.

II is unlikely in the extreme that
butter will have to be given up for
guns in 194l. Probably, in fact
the industrial sections of America
will be better fed than ever before.

Sharp Home Building
Growth Seen for 1o41

Wilfred H. Blanz, secretary of the
American Building Association. said
yesterday that great many applica-
tlons for loans during 1910 came
from people who were building their
own homes, people who have been
living in apartments or in rented
houses.
Mr.. Blanz forecast that the city
will see an ever greater growth dur
ing 194l as new citizens come to
Washington to swell the vast number
OF Government employees required
for defense and other programs.
Housing will have to be provided for
them, he commented.

U. S. Building Gains
Hailed by Berqmunn

Carl j Bergman, director in the
United States Savings and Loan
League and treasurer of the Wash
lngton Permanent Building AsSo-
clation, said yesterday that prac-
tically every section of the Nation
reported increasing building activity
during 1910.
All eyes are naturally centered on
Washington. where the local build
ing and loan associations are estab-
fishing new high levels in all de-
partmentc.
The % associations have scored
very sharp increases in resources
during the past year.
