commodities sold in retail ana
wholesale trade to assist in classl-
flying persons engaged in the vari-
Gus sales jobs. The third section is
a glossary which clarifies the var
ious technical terms used in the
job definitions. That glossary Ia
provided because many of the job
definitions deal with complicated
technical processes and involved
concepts, thereby making it neces-
sary at times to use technical ter.
minology with which the lay read
er may be unfamiliar. The fourth
section contains definitions of in
kustrial designations used to show
the industry in which jobs defined
in Vol. I are usually found. The
industry definitions, are followed
by lists of job titles contained In
the Dictionary which are found in
those industries. An alphabetical
index of industrial designations
makes up the fifth section.
The third volume used by the
Employment Service involves
ENTRY Occupational Classifica-
tons That part of the D. o. 7.
is used to classify those individ-
uals who must find employment
on some basis other than prior
work experience Or fully qualify
ing training. Such applicants are
referred to as "entry applicants
Although most of those applicants
are young people who lack suffi-
cient or significant work expert
ence or those who have not reach
ed occupational maturity, the ZEN
try applicant" group also includes
experienced workers who are
barred from their former occupa-
tions because of chronological de-
velopments, economic changes,
physical handicaps, age or disuse
of skills. Entry Occupational Clas-
sifications describe fields of work
and not occupations.
1t is a fundamental policy of
the Ohio State Employment Ser
vice to refer applicants to pros
pective jobs solely on the basis of
applicants ability.
The Employment Service gives
special attention to meeting the
job needs of disabled Veterans.
Carefully developed methods are
used to place disabled veterans in
job for which they are qualified;
with emphasis on ability rather
than disability. For the benefit of
all veterans, a Veterans Employ
ment Representative is a member
of the OSES interviewing staff.
Port Clinton office manager, L. f.
Hetrick, states that 285 jobs were
secured for veterans in this area
during 1851 and that 800 veterans
secured jobs through the local
OSES office during 1852. During
the first three months of this
year 135 veterans were placed by
the local office.
Of interest to local employers
is the operation of the job clear
ance system by which an employ
er's job order is cleared with
other OSES offices in the sur
rounding counties, throughout the
entire state, neighboring states, or
Observation-Disclosures a qualified
worker or workers cannot be Sc
cured locally, and when the en-
ployer consents to use of the
clearance procedure. There are
more than 1900 public Employ
ment Service offices throughout
the nation. All local sources of
qualified workers are exhausted,
however, before resorting to re-
cruitment of workers in other To-
calities.
The Job clearance system has
two major detectives: One, to To-
cal qualified applicants in other
localities for employers in need Of
workers who cannot be secured
locally and, two, to assist local JOB
applicants in securing out-of- area
jobs. The local OSES office is al
ways in contact with other EN-
ployment Service offices through
out the nation and they literally
have thousands Of job listings. A
local applicant can secure job
several hundred miles from home
and without having to waste time
and money in travel expense,
merely by contracting the OSES
office. The local office will care
fully note the applicants quaIifi-
, cations, experience, education and
training and transmit the informa-
ton to the prospective employers
in other areas. Another interest
ing fact is that quite frequently
employers from other States send
personnel recruiters to the local
OSES office to interview prospec
tive applicants, thereby affording
! local lob seekers an onnortunitv
