OWI Sees Tendency to Get
Off Alarm-Clock Sched
ule; 18,590,000 Held Jobs
Washington (U.R) Women war
workers are showing signs of
wanting to go home and have
babies, the Office o War Infor
mation said in a recent report.
In fact, such ''family rea
sons," along with other factors,
is causing women in "consider
able" numbers to "fade" from
the employment market once
they have lost their jobs.
If women will not stay on the
alarm-clock schedules as the
male labor force dwindles, the
OWI warned in a report based
on information from the War
Manpower Commission and oth
er government agencies, "the
total labor force may fall below
the minimum needed to main
tain the war economy."
Pay Is Not Equal
In every case reported to
date of group layoffs, the OWT
said, "a considerable portion of
the women separated from their
jobs did not seek other employ
ment but simply faded from
the labor market."
Here are some reasons why
they aon't look for other jobs:
(1) Pay of other available
jobs is not the same; offers no
"incentive" to keep working.
(2) Special training for one
job does not fit her for another
type of job.
(3) The woman who took a
wqr Job for patriot reasons and
later was laid off feels she has
"done her share," or develops
"war Job fatigue."
(4) Previous work experience
has not been satisfactory.
(5) She wants to visit her "in
uniform husband, have a baby
or spend more time with her
children.
18,590,000 on Rolls
Despite this reticence of wom
en to take another job, the OWI
report showed that last July the
total number of working Wom
en was at an all-time high of
18,590,000. This compares with
18,080,000 in July, 1943, and
11,000,000 before the war.
Greatly disturbed by this new
attitude of women toward jobs,
the WMC has found "one note
of reassurance," the OWI said.
". . . the tendency for women
to leave the labor market as
they feel their job is done may
represent a forecast of the pat-
