Employment Director Sees
Boom in Women Work.
ers in Next 6 Months

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. s. Manu-
facturers in Connecticut will hire
approximately 32535 ad d tional
workers, more than one-third of
them women, during the next six
months, U. S. Employment Service
Director Leonard J. Maloney stated
today. Mr.. Maloney's estimate is
based on figures submitted to his
Department by 498 firms, including
all major war industries of the state,
with total personnel of $3.50
people.
Estimated layoffs during this
same period were given as 2,814.
One of the most significant
facts disclosed by the survey Is
the large number of women who,
it Is believed, will be employed,
particularly in the Bridgeport and
Waterbury areas. Bridgeport en-
ployers estimate that 4,197 women
could be added to the payroll and
Waterbury places the estimate at
$3.50. More than three-quarters
Of these feminine workers could
be employed in unskilled and
semi-skilled jobs and only small
fraction of the total on clerical
work.
A summary Of the estimated labor
needs and, the number of women
workers by towns is as follows:
