Information for The report was

curity Agency, Federal Works

Women now hold one out OF
every three war jobs in the United
States, but the number at work
must be increased by one and a
half to two million by mid-year.
Most of the increase will be IN
seasonal employment, such as cam
ming and agriculture. In addition,
women will be needed to replace
fathers drafted from industry and
farm as well as to replace other
women who leave the working
force.

most industrial communities are

Since there are only 681, 100 Ne

gardens with colored families are
expected to grow this year must
come largely from urban residents,
garden specialists point out.
In many of the larger cities
where small garden plots are diff

forming community projects with
garden space allotted to each fam
lily. Sometimes these projects are
on vacant lots, and occasionally,
one or two acres are rented from

Jobs. Also counted are school girls
who have registered for work but
have not found jobs. Some women
workers, laid off because OF con-
tract cancellations or other pro-
duction adjustments, find it neceS-
sary to wait until new jobs open
up. Others find only lower paying
positions available and keep look
ing for more remunerative jobs.
A net increase of one and half
million women on jobs by summer
would bring female employment
only to the all-time high level of
l7,900,000 last summer. But the
outlook is that this number must
be exceeded to meet seasonal farm
needs, and provide for workers in
a few expanding industries.
