Veterans Administration, about
100000 or 70 per cent - are
not gainfully employed. And only
100000 of them are considered un-
employable. Of the 100000 EN-
ployables, roughly 100000 are
looking for jobs right now. The
rest are undergoing vocational
training and the vast majority of
them will be added eventually to
our labor force.
How fast we shall be able to
absorb them into our economy
is another matter. Millard w.
Rice, executive secretary of the Dis
abled American Veterans Service
Foundation. reports that for the
past three years disabled veterans
have been placed in jobs at a rate of
six per cent per month. If you
think this is good, simply consider
that regular employment agencies
usually place applicants in jobs at
Is per cent per month.
All these figures are for registered
veterans. Rice believes that there
are possibly a million more who
have not registered through igno-
rance or error or fear that by
publicly acknowledging an ''in-
visible disability" of some sort they
will be Disseminated against by
employers.
The problem is not the province
of any one man, government agency
or industrial group. When the num-
bers are this large it is problem
