17,7O9 Registered For Employment In
 State In May, 194O
Defense Industries Rapidly Absorbing All Available Labor State Office Points Out; WPA Jobs Not
 Career Jobs" Declares State Administration

Administrator Frank Upman, Jr., said today in revealing that WPA enrolment in Connecticut now stands at a record low of 7,668.
 Just one year ago the enrolment was l7,709, and that total has been dropping of at a rapidly accelerated pace In the past few months, 5000 have left WpA since January and about 1000 in the last month alone,
 While some of this decline, ot course, Is due to the iS-moi1thS lay-offs, actually more people are leaving WpA of their own volition than are being laid of each week MT. Upman said. From their num- Der 0 supply Is being provided to meet the demand for defense work CTS.
 All of this, he said. should cer- tainly explode the theory" that WPA workers refuse to give up their relief jobs--a theory which is ob- viously illogical when the $l4 aver age weekly WPA wage is compared to the pay available in private em- ployment today.
 The WPA continues to be what 1t always has been to these workers he said, Q means of getting an Income, meager as 1t Is, in return for hon. est toll in times when private ern- ployerS have nothing to offer, When Jobs are available, the WPA worker is not only willing, but eager to take them.
 Figures showing the decline in WPA enrolment since last May, the period when the industrial upsurge increased the demand for personnel, clearly show the truth of these statements.
 The figures are: l940--May, 17,- 700; June, l7,587; July, l6,325; August, l6,3so; September, l6,36l October, l6,33S; November, lS,39s; December, l4,6oo; l94l-january l3,444; February i2,492; March, l0,- 759; April, o,4lS. May, 7,568.
