Babson Discusses Jobs For Graduates
Oregonians Musi Decide What They Want, Editor Says
Friday. May 28. 1950
In addition.
By Roger W. Babson
Babson Park. Mass., May 26
(Special to Mail Tribune! One
and three-quarters million boys
and girls will graduate from our
schools and col
legs this May
and June. Their
job outlook is
bleak. Nearly
half their num
ber will gradu
ate into unem
ployment! There is al
ready a pool of
unemployed es
timated rough
ly at 5 million.
500,000 college
graduates will come onto the job
market late this spring. Anoth
er 1,200.000 high school gradu
ates will receive their diplomas
by late June. Of these high
school graduates. 240,000 will go
on to college. About 200,000 of
the girls will marry. The bal
ance 760,000 will seek em
ployment. School officials say
that another 600,000 drop out of
school and college each year for
one reason or another. They, too,
become job hunters.
There are six reasons for the
gloomy outlook: (1) The war
time and post-war shortages have
now been mostly filled. (2) In
dustries have been making care
ful efficiency studies to cut
mounting labor costs. (3) Since
most industries are no longer
expanding, much hiring Is on
only a replacement basis. (4) In
dividuals are graduating from
schools and colleges faster than
jobs are becoming available. (5)
Present workers are living long
er and retaining their efficiency
longer. (6) The low wages of
skilled foreign labor are becom
ing a factor through increasing
imports. Even in the best post
war years, fewer than a million
new jobs a year have developed.
Hence, many 1950 graduates
probably about 50 per cent of
them will graduate into unem
ployment. Oversupply of Workers
Noted in Some Businesses
There is already an oversup
ply of accountants, clerks, chem
ists, engineers, journalists, law
yers, business administration
majors, and personnel workers.
On the other hand, there are
still good opportunities in mer
chandising, marketing, business
research, architecture, insurance,
banking, medicine, nursing phar
macy, social work and school
teaching. This latter field and
salesmanship offer the best op
portunities. Big Businesses Blamed
For Job-Hopping of Employees
Big businesses, in their mad
scramble to get college gradu
ates when the supply was small,
bid against one another for col
lege talent. Jobs at fancy salaries
were then easy to get. But the
college graduate was not always
prepared to move as fast as some
companies moved men. Others
were forgotten and not moved
as rapidly as promised. Impa-

(This is the last in a series
of five articles prepared by
prominent Oregon newspaper
men giving background infor
mation on the tourist industry
in Oregon. Some $110 million
was brought into the state last
year by visitors from other
states and countries, and this
week has been designated as
"Tourist Host week" by Gov.
Douglas McKay. It has been
pointed out that all residents
of the stale benefit from the
Industry, and that citisens
tience set in and the graduates
became Job-hoppers. Many busi
nessmen began to feel that
"young graduates are in too
much of a hurry to become vice
presidents." Consequently, many
employers now prefer to hire un
employed experienced workers
because they have at last had
some economic sense knocked
into their heads the hard way.
The implications for the. 1950
job hunters are obvious: (1) He
must first of all know himself
his abilities, his vocational in
terests, his character and his
personality traits. (2) He must
have some general idea of how
he can utilize his interests and
abilities to the maximum and
thereby develop into an effi
cient, highly productive worker
for his employer. This means ap
proaching his prospective em
ployer with an attitude of "What
can I do for you?," instead of
"What can you do for me?" (3)
He should expend the energy
necessary before a job interview
to learn something about a com
pany, its products, and where he
might best fit into the scheme of
things.
Job seekers of 1950 who are
too lazy to do these things may
find themselves graduating into
unemployment. As one who em
ployes many hundreds myself. I
can tell you that on the other
hand, there will alwrays be good
opportunities for trained men of
charpcter. energy and fighting
qualities. I always employ all
the "red-heads" I can find when
they do not think too much of
salary.
who are informed regarding
the scenic beauties and history
ventage in dealing with tourists
of the state, will have an
vantage in dealing with tour
isti. Editor's note.)
By W. M. Tugman
Eugene Register-Guard
From time to time over the
years we have suggested fac
tiously that perhaps the best
way to attract more tourists to
Oregon would be to build a high
fence entirely around the state
and set up immigration quotas,
especially on southern Califor
nians. We have long thought that
there were a few ideas which
were overlooked by Dale Carne
gie when he wrote his famous
book on "How To Win Friends
and Influence People". He over
looked, for instance, the peculiar
trait of human curiosity which
is manifested by the people who
compete for knot-hole space to
watch a steam shovel excavating
for a new building.
Oregon has done well In the
tourist trades. In 1949, income
from out-of-state visitors was
estimated at $110 million and
that is no small item in the
state's economy. Our tourist
trades are rated next to agri
culture and lumber as a source
of wealth. We are now spending
$250,000 a year of state highway
revenues to attract more of this
business.. This is money well
spent. It can be demonstrated
that the advertising more than
pays for itself in terms of in
creased gas taxes and other re
ceipts. Nevertheless, we feel that
sometimes we err in the dirction
of being too eager to attract the
stranger. We do not quite think
through on what we are doing.
Can't Make Up Mind
Oregon has never been quite
able to make up its mind wheth
er it wants to go industrial or to
what extent it wants to become
industrial, or to what extent it
wants to set some rather rigid
and specific limiations on ran
dom development in order to
preserve those areas which are
our greatest assets for the attrac
tion of tourists. In spite of all
I that has been done to establish
' national parks, forest reserves,
state parks and wayside resting
places, there is a conflict In'
nearly every part of the state
between what might be called
industrial and tourist trade
determinism.
Every little community seems
to think it can have its cake and
eat is too. lit seems to think that
it can bring in mills and fac
tories and invite them to turn
their wastes into its streams or
strip its forests down to the road
side and at the same time main
tain its appeal to the spending
traveler. This conflict is no
where more evident than in
many sections of western Lane
county and along the historic
and incomparable McKenzie riv
er. It is not our contention that
all industrial and commercial
development can or should be
prohibited. Our timber and oth
er resources must be harvested,
industrial workers must be hous
ed and serviced, but It is reason
able to ask:
"Can we invite these devel
opments without any dis
crimination and without
some reasonable attempts at
regulation which will con
serve our greatest assets for
public entertainment and
recreation?"
Lane County First
Lane county is the first and
only county in Oregon so far to
attempt county zoning and com
mendable progress has been
made by the Lane county plan
ing commission, but their ef
forts to set intelligent develop
ment patterns are often impeded
by what might almost be called
community schizophrenia. The
local chamber of commerce or
booster's club wants payrolls; it
also wants tourists with open
pocketbooks. It is seldom able
to make up its co-called mind as
to what it really wants.
It is predicted in the next hun
dred years Oregon may house
five or ten times its present
population. We have always
doubted the blessings of mere
numbers. We have always quar
reled with those who accept
Pittsburgh as the ideal of growth
and prosperity. We like to think
that Oregon, a slate which is
only two shirt tails removed
from pioneers, has a unique op
portunity to preserve the quali-
MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE IEVEH
ties of good living with which
we have been so richly endowed
by the Creator. Perhaps we
should state it in more practical
terms:
"Are we doing all we should
to preserve the assets which
are indispensible to our
third industry?"
The roadside trades have been
incredibly stupod in fighting
nearly every protectice measure
that has been proposed, and they
have not been far behind indus
try in the promotion of develop
ments which are unsightly, un
sanitary and a detriment to con
servation. Perhaps the Ad clubs
in their valuable works of edu
cating the tourist trades on how
to welcome the traveler should
include some idea along the line
of systematic planning and con
servation. These ideas may not
be welcome but they are asked
for.
MADE LOVERS LEAP
Battle Creek, Mich. (U.R)
Police found a car that had
plunged from a 20-foot cliff and
sunk in the Kalamazoo river.
They traced the license plate to
Mrs. Pearl Whipple. .18, who ad
mitted that Claude Helton, 32,
drove the car over the cliff after
both had leaped from the vehicle.
She said they had had a quarrel.
"I only meant to scare her,"
Helton said..
