Young job-seekers trying to get a
handle on employment will want to
consult the first edition of “Occupa
tions in Demand at Job Service Of
fices’ published by the U.S. De
partment of Labor.
The edition lists 87 occupations
frequently in demand by employers
that require some college or high
school preparation. It was designed
by the U.S. Employment Service to
help students and recent graduates
make better informed job search
decisions, sayd Dr. Richard Floyd
with the Texas Agricultural Exten
sion Service.
The edition lists 13 occupations
with greater than average gains in
the number of openings registered
by employers with the National Job
Bank System during 1977, points
out Floyd, an economist in business
development. These include clerk-
typist (15,700 average monthly
openings), carpenters (10,000 open
ings), electrical engineers (4,400
openings), and computer-
programmers (3,200 openings).
Other occupational groups with
gains in Job Bank openings well
above the national average were
civil engineering, counseling,
mechanical engineering, personnel
and training, social and welfare
work, asbestos and insulation work,
cement and concrete finishing,
plumbing, and refuse and sewage
disposal.
Floyd says the occupational guide
also gives geographical areas that
had gains in Job Bank openings well
above the national average during
1977. These include Houston, with
14,200 average monthly openings,
and Dallas, with 13,500 openings.
The edition also indicates job
training requirements. Examples of
jobs that require high school train
ing but in many cases, little or no
experience, are manager-trainee,
general office clerk and typist.
Those requiring only high school
preparation but some experience
are exemplified by administrative
secretary, mechanical drafter, serv
ice establishment manager, and tool
and die maker.
Examples of jobs requiring col
lege, but in many cases, little or no
experience, include nurse (R.N.),
practical nurse (L.P.N.), and recrea
tion leader.
Of course, there is no guarantee
that jobs listed in the bulletin are
still available, said Floyd.
Persons wishing to obtain single
| copies should contact their local
Texas Employment Commission of
fice or write the Consumer Informa
tion Center, Pueblo, Colo. 81009.

Farmer says
his hogs like
easy listening
United Press International
DES MOINES, Iowa — The
watch hog, loyally guarding his mas
ter’s tractor, could be a fixture on
farms of the future, an official of the
National Pork Producers Council
says.
“Pigs are good animals to train
and are very smart,” said Marvin
Garner, exeicutive vice president of
the pork council. “And more and
more people are successfully train
ing them.”
He pointed to experiments that
have shown pigs respond to unfamil
iar sights and stimuli.
“I am not really sure if we have a
watch hog yet in Iowa. But, particu
larly in the case of the young child, a
hog will notice a stranger and react
to it,” Garner said. “They really
can’t run after it and bite it but they
can react and notice it.
The hog also is somewhat of a
music critic. For years, hog men
have used music in breeder pens
and feeding areas to keep the troops
happy.
“It keeps them from fighting and
feuding and generally keeps peace
in the pen, Garner said.
There does not appear to be any
universally held top-40 list among
hogs.
“No one has done any research on
that. It doesn’t really seem to matter
what the music is, as long as its
noisy and loud,” he said. “It seems
to keep them together, keep them
eating and have a quieting effect.”
John McNutt, 26, a farmer who
lives near Iowa City, said his pigs
prefer classical and folk music
played on local FM stations. He dis
covered when he piped in AM rock
and roll, the hogs often grew rest
less. when he recently built a new
farrowing pen, he switched to clas
sical FM.
