Increase In Employment
OF Handicapped Workers

Columbus, O., July 10-Natonal
defense activities have brought an in
crease in the employment of physical
ly handicapped workers, it was re-
ported today by the Employment
Service division of the Ohio Bureau
of Unemployment Compensation.
Because Of the shortage of work
ers in many of the essential skilled
and semi-skilled occupations, employ
ers now are beginning to avail them
selves of the disable skills possessed
by handicapped workers on the basis
Of their qualifications.
During 1910, the Ohio State EN-
ployment Service placed 2,23S OF
these workers and now with national
defense industries seeking more train
ed men, it is expected that this figure
will be greatly exceeded in l941. Ohio
stood fourth among all az states in
the number and percentage of place
ments of handicapped workers dur
ing 1910
Working in close cooperation with
| the State Rehabilitation Board, the
| Employment Service is making every
effort to bring the skills of referred
| individuals to the attention of employ
| ers.
Pointing out that thousands of men
who have suffered the loss of hearing,
of an eye or limb are now employed
in the automotive industry, Employ
ment Service officials today express
ed belief that places for many more
would be found in jobs where their eff
ficency would not be affected by such
physical impairment.
