held before The W0r fr fuli-tine place tn some
one Of our cOnntry's victory brigades. More job
changes will take place during the war than
would ordinarily occur during two full peace
time generations
Despite these jolts, the job outlook is
by far the best it has been in more than a
decade. Countless workers are now finding
the career opportunities of lifetime. BY the
end of next year virtually every worker in the
country will be performing needed task of
some kind
i HE growing worry of looking for jobs -
and not finding them - will be gone But it
will be replaced by another problem - that
of finding exactly the position where ones
talents and training will be most helpful to
Uncle Sam in the raging battle of production
lines
Millions of workers will automatically shift
to military work when their employers con-
vert plants from the production of peace
time to war goods. The overnight trans
formation of Americas gigantic automobile
industry with its half-millon workers is the
largest example Of how this is being done. But
the ingenious ways in which hundreds of
smaller worker -and-plant conversions are be-
ing accomplished are no less amazing.
Recently l ran across a crew of skilled
merry-go-round makers merrily turning out
hooks for airplane packing cases right in the
plant where they've always worked. I've also
seen the factory of an orange -squeezer manu-
facturer whose workmen are now producing
bullet punches and toy-tran plant where
the employees are devoting all their time to
making gunsights.
In many cases. however, plants or machines
can't be converted to war production. But
that doesn't say the workers can't be. In an
airplane-instrument assembly plant saw two
ex-jeweers building some complicated gadgets

essential to this special type of war work.
These fellows we're smart enough to find
out how their previous skills or abilities could
be adapted to war jobs. It's up to the rest of
us to do likewise.
In some cases job-holders can find war
work which is more or less related to their
previous peacetime tasks. u. S. Employment
Service researchers have found that nearly
every occupation is similar in some way to
many other vocations. Through detailed stud
les of Job families" - occupations that are
related because of similar tools, materials or
skills used - they have discovered that with
little additional training, large proportion
OF Americas workers can be shifted quickly to
military work. Here are just few examples:
Civilian Job Related War Job
Refrigerator service Magnet winder or
man electrical assembler
Sheet-metal Airplane-wing frame
worker builder
Hosiery mender Parachute handsewer
Radio technician Ship electrician
Electrical Airplane- instrument
repairman maker
Carpenter Shiphtter
In many cases, of course, the task that
workers are now trained to do just cannot be

transferred. to war production. This does
not mean by long shot that such persons
must give up hope of doing their stint for our
country during the emergency. All of us pos
sess scores of apttudes and abilities which we
have never used. Now is exactly the time
when they should be discovered, developed,
and put to use.
This is especially true of women. The
U. S. Women's Bureau found last year
through study of l, 800 major war occupa-
and training to step right into about 600 Of
them when they are given the chance.
And there are an additional 600 jobs which
women possess the ability to fill efficiently if
they can obtain the necessary training Partly
due to the Women's Bureau study, extensive
training courses have since been established
and many of these occupations have become
no mans land" They are now handled
entirely by qualified women, releasing skilled
men for other vital jobs where bottleneck
shortages exist.
Older people should pay particular atten-
ton to obtaining positions via this route.
In many cases, they can also fill non-war jobs
where workers have been drained off into
other lines. Many department stores, for
instance. are now searching desperately for
more help. and welcome applications from
older men and women
Here's How
IF YOU are interested in finding a place in
the war-producton program, here is handy
checklist of rules that may help you:
I. Register Immediately with the nearest office
Of the u. S. Employment Serpiee. Most govern

being filled through its Offices.
Z. Anoiyze your list Of talents and skills
