Postwar Jobs
Here 10 Rise
$4,000
Private Employment
Expected to Offset
Government Cutbucks

A total of $1,000 more workers will
be needed by private firms in the
first year after Japan is defeated,
the Postwar Planning Committee of
the Washington Board of Trade
said today.
The board, In revealing results of
a survey of approximately 1900 en-
ployers in the District, said private
business firms plan to employ new
workers to offset the expected cur
tailment in Government employ
ment.
The survey, prepared for publica-
ton by the Opinion Research Corp.
OF Princeton, N. j., says firms in
the Washington area expect to hire
an average of 26 per cent-more full
time workers in the first year after
VI day.
10000 to Be Available.
The board estimated that within
two years after peace is declared
$1,000 persons will have been re-
leased from Government jobs, while
an additional $1,000 discharged serv-
icemen will have returned to their
homes in the District. This means,
the report said, that some 10000
persons will be available for the ST.
900 new postwar jobs, mot allowing
for new businesses and those leav-
ing the local labor market"
The survey showed 256,160 full
time workers were employed by pri-
vate District concerns in July, 1914,
and that 322 800 probably will be
needed when Japan surrenders.
In discussing the probable labor
market and surplus in the District
after the war, the board said 5000
workers-about per cent of all en-
ployed civilians in Washington
plan to move out of the Capital
within year or two after the war
is over, while $4,000 others, about
5 per cent of all civilian employees,
expect to quit work.
See Many Domestics.
In addition, the board report said,
large numbers of jobs will be avail
able for domestic workers. This
source of employment, however, was
not covered in the current survey.
The board survey indicates there
will be no serious unemployment
problem in the District Immediately
after the war 'if present intentions
Of both workers and employers ma
terialize and the type of worker
available can fill the job require
ments."
But the committee emphasized, in
releasing the survey figures, that
few employers can predict exactly
how many employees they will need
year or two after the Japanese
war ends, and that workers also
are unable to make precise judge
ments as to their own future plans" q"
Extreme Care Used.
The committee said the survey
was made with extreme care" in
order than a realistic current ap-
praisal of the postwar situation"
could be obtained.
The survey, conducted in Wash
ington, Alexandria and the counties
of Arlington and Fairfax, Va, and
Montgomery and Prince Georges,
Md, were undertaken, the commit
tee said, because it was realized
that many persons ARE asking
whether there will be jobs with pri-
vate employers in the Washington
area to take up the anticipated slack
in employment that will be created
by the release of thousands of Gov
ernment workers"
