Substantial Employment Gains in Local Factories

Employment gains were made in the clock, watch, and brass indus tries of the Waterbury area during the month ending Aug. IS, accord ing to the monthly report of Paul Parsons, manager of the U. s. En- ployment Service at Waterbury.
 The net increase in employment at IS of the areas largest manufac- turing firms was computed by MT. Parsons at three percent.
 It is disclosed in the report re- leased today, that total employment registration at the local office stood at 3,740 on Sept. 1, compared to job orders of 1,539. On Aug. l, however, job orders stood at 1,276.
 Upward Trend Continues
 MT. Parsons states that the up- ward trend in manufacturing en- ployment continued despite the material shortages in some firms and widespread recruitment difh- culties."
 He points out that although there is an overall surplus of labor, hiring is limited by shortages of selected groups of workers, particularly un- skilled laborers. Some employers have been bringing in workers from other areas, he discloses.
 Women continue to comprise larger percentage of total manufac- turing employment than they did before the war in April, 1940, and more than half of the current job orders are for women, according to the report.
 Variety of Demands
 Most of the current demand is for unskilled workers in the rubber pro- ducts industry and for small mach inc operators and bench assemblers in the clock and watch industry, the employment official reports. The demand, however, is described as considerable" for stenographers, sewing machine operators, domes- tics, and restaurant workers.
 In regard to the rise in job orders MT. Parsons states, Tn addition to the jobs actually on order, about LOU additional women are needed in the rubber and watch industries. | Openings for males are concen- trated chiefly in the unskilled cate- gory with demand heavy for labor CTS in brass mills, foundries and in the rubber products industry. A large number of openings are also available for skilled workers such as job settlers, toolmakers, mill wrights, steamfltters, bakers, and automotive workers"
 The breakdown on the Sept. job orders is given as follows: unskilled, 930; service, 2l4; semi-skilled, 183; skilled, 92; clerical and sales, 76; professional and managerial, 32; agricultural, 12.
 Increase of 1000
