70,000 Women and
Men Given Jobs in
Only Three Months
More than 70,000 young men
and young women who obtained
their practical experience through
NYA employment were placed in
jobs in private industry during
the three-month period December
1, 1940, to March 1, 1941, it was
announced today by Aubrey Wil
liams, Administrator of the Na
tional Youth Administration.
At the present time there are
about 403,000 young men and
young women employed on the
NYA out-of-school work program.
On April 1, there were 391,682
young people certified as eligible
for NYA employment and await
ing assignment to NYA projects
for whom the National Youth
Administration was unable to pro
vide jobs.
“The number of young people
who have left the NYA out-of-
school work program to take
private employment is a clear,
indication that our projects pro
vide youth with the kind of prac
tical experience that private in
dustry requires. A high percent
age of the young people who have
left the NYA program have gone
directly to jobs in the defense in
dustries,” Williams said.
Of the 70,000 young people who
left NYA employment for private
jobs during this three months’
period, more than 17,000 were
known to have gotten jobs in man
ufacturing industries. These in
cluded: lumber and lumber pro
ducts, chemical products, rubber
products, iron and steel products,
non-ferrous metal products, elec
trical machinery and equipment,
agricultural machinery and equip
ment, metal working machinery
and equipment, aircraft and parts,
automobile and automobile equip
ment, ship and boat building, and
various others.
Nearly 22,000 young people got
jobs in non-manufacturing indus
tries, including mining, construc
ting, air transportation, railroads,
communications, public utilities,
wholesale and retail trade, finance,
service industries, and domestic
service. More than 3,000 young
people took jobs in unspecified in
dustries.
“One of the greatest needs of
young people who are seeking pri
vate jobs at the present time is
practical experience in actual pro
duction work and some basic
aptitudes,” Williams said. “As far
as possible, the National Youth
Administration tries to give each
young man and young woman em
ployed on its out-of-school work
program the opportunity to ob
tain the basic manual experience
that will fit him or her for a job
in private industry. In this way
NYA is not only helping young
people get a start in life but is
also helping to meet the needs of
defense industries for experienced
workers.”
