Job Bonks Operating
Elghty-elght Job banks are
now ¿i operation covering
more than half the nation’s
85 million civilian workers,
It was announced today by
Assistant Secretary of Labor
Malcolm R, Lovell, Jr.
He said that by the end of
July there would be Job banks
In more than 40 states. New
banks will becomeoperatloiial
soon In such cities as Spring-
field, Mass.; Norfolk and
Rlchmo d, Va.; Akron and
Canton, Ohio; Perorla, 111.;
Tucson, Aria., and others.
“ We are reaching the
point,” he said, "where we are
going to turn our attention to
the development of state-wide
Job bank systems.”
Such statewide systems are
operational In three states -
Main, Rhode Island, and Dela
ware; and Oklahoma Is close
to becoming operational state
wide.
"The goal for the next 12
months Is the establishment of
statewide Job bank systems In
all states,” Lovell said.
A statewide Job bank system
is one In which every local
office of the public employ
ment service In the state has
access to a Job bank. There
are about 2,200 local offices
In the federal - state public
employment service, but any
number of offices can be tied
Into a Job bank having a cen
tralized computer.
With Job banks providing
major service today, the Man
power Administration has
produced a new booklet called
“ The Job Bank” describing
the system, which is available
from the Government Print
ing Office for 15 cents.
The job bank works like
this;
Job orders are fed
into a computer, which each
morning prints out a book
listing all current orders.
Copies of the book then are
rapidly distributed to local
employment service offices
