Public Law 16 trainees, VA
said, have been swelling at an
average rate of more than 1000
month.
VA has recently completed a
study of the employment objec-
tives of disabled veterans who
were rehabilitated through Pub
lie Law 16 training.
The study disclosed that more
than one-third - or 36.5 per-
cent-had the employment OBJ
jective of mechanic or repair
man.
Another 6.6 percent trained
for clerical jobs of various kinds;
6.3 percent, occupations in the
metal trades; 81 percent, posi-
tions as accountants and audi
tors; Al percent, engineering
positions; 2.8 per cent, jobs in
the construction trades, and 2.8

Other employment detectives
included agricultural occupa-
tions, IL per cent; law, 10 per
cent; writers, journalists and re-
porters, 10 per cent; commercial
artists, or per cent, and doctors
and dentists, 0.3 per cent.
A wide variety of other job
objectives accounted for the re-
naming 81 per cent of the re-
habilitated trainees.
The average length of course
taken by those Public Law Is
trainees who had completed their
training has been 25 months =
slightly more than half of the
maximum period allowed by the
law.
The average course of those
who attended college under Pub
lie law Is extended for 20
months; for those in schools be-
low college level, 19 months; in
stitutional on-farm trainees, 20
months, and on-the-job trainees,
25 months.

able comments of employers who
have hired disabled veterans
after they completed Public Law
Is training.
