Priorities unemployment. Office of Production Management steps in. In the interest of workers, in the interests of manufacturers, most of all in the interest of defense, the OPM takes steps to meet the problems of "priorities unemployment." Working with the OPM's labor supply branch, which coordinates twelve government units concerned with employment, 1500 U.S. employment offices all over the country register workers for defense jobs and for unemployment compensation

Priorities unemployment. No more money. John Jones, silk worker, is a victim of "priorities unemployment." It might have been James Smith, rubber worker. It might have been anybody. The "priorities unemployment" is part of a process of changing over, of retooling. And it's a temporary part, in most cases. Defense industries are expanding. In the long run, the defense program will make more jobs than it will break. It has already created 4,000,000 new jobs and there will be 2,500,000 more by April 1942. Production skills are needed for defense, John Jones'skills, James Smith's skills. How does "man meet job?"
