Labor Market Is Open

: By JEAN SPICKLEMIRE IGH SCHOOL graduates have a better than average chance this year to get a job. Not all will be $1.50 an hour openings, however. And a great many will be in small industry rather than

big business. Officials of the Indianapolis Office, Employment Security Division, say clerical positiofis are still the most numerous. Although there is a plentiful need for young high schoo! and college students, the demand for older women: (those over 50) has decreased. Local statistics from January to March of this year show a .03 gain in overall employment while female job holders have suffered a .04 loss. A large percentage of these are in the over 50 category, the employment division indicates, yy ” DURING THE August to January period locally, female employment dropped 3.5 per cent while general employment fell noly 2.1 per cent. This was due to the slackening of war job openings. . A good many employers will place their jobs right at the front doors of the younger set. Big industries, if they follow past procedure, will come directly to the schools to solicit employees. On the other hand, draft possibilities have ecut down the eagerness of many large firms to train young graduates. Most big businesses lose $300 to $500 in the turnover of such risks.

A MAJORITY OF students are placed on the recommendation of personal friends or in the business of family acquaintances, There's often a better future in the small business than the big one, even though pay checks at first may be smaller, according to officials,
