Citing Older Workers,
President ProcIaims
Employment Week
Asks No Competent
Man Be Wasted Because
He Is in Elder Brackets

Emphasizing the national sense
of responsibility toward older un-
employed workers, many of them
veterans of the Warld War, Presi-
dent Roosevelt today proclaimed the
week beginning May as National
Employment Week.
During the seven days starting on
that date, the Chief Executive
asked all private and public organ
izations and individual employers to
give special attention to seeing that
employment which might be of
value to the national defense effort
should be extended to competent
workers in the older age brackets.
Unemployment among this group
remains high, the President said,
despite the great expansion of in
dustry resulting from the national
defense program.
Among these" he said in refer
ence to these older jobless workers,
ARE considerable number of World
War veterans, men who now average
48 years of age, and who, feel, have
special appeal to our national sense
of responsibility. particularly during
this time of national defense prep
aration.
The United States Employment
Service-a Nation wide network of
$500 Offices operated jointly by the
State and Federal Governments
has made special efforts in behalf
of workers past 40 years of age, in
cluding veterans. In the interest of
utilizing all possible skills in our
defense program, I urge that en-
ployers review carefully their stand
ards of physical qualifications to as
sure that these valuable workers are
not barred from employment.
I'VE know from available facts
that men and women in middle life
possess abilities and skills which At
them for employment in nearly
every line of work and that they
have a definite contribution to
make at this time of increasing
shortage of experienced workers. 1t
is important in our national defense
effort that we fully and effectively
use the available manpower of the
Nation"
The President recalled that a
similar week of special effort last
year resulted in The employment of
thousands of older workers, adding
that he now desired ito encourage
a continued Nationwide interest in
this persistent problem"
