"Return to school," urged President Kennedy in his Labor Day message to the "youth of the nation" thereby putting the prestige of the White House itself behind the accelerating drive to convince America's youngsters that for their own sakes, as well as for the sake of the nation, they must stay In school until they gain the education and skills essential to fill today's jobs. But a potential dropout or a young man or woman who already has quit school well might ask for more than exhortation, more than even a dramatic warning from the President that their situation can be "tragic" and "returning to school may mean the difference between possible hard ship and unemployment or a fruitful life" In our society. "Return to school? Why? Give me the cold bread-and-butter facts," the dropout might say. "Return to school? For what? Tell me where the jobs will be and what I might train myself for," he might add. In this and the next column, I'll submit the "why" and "what." Make a record of these facts, no matter who you are, for in your neighborhood or among you acquaintances there is or well may be a young person whose entire life you can benefit by reciting them. Return to school? Why. Here's why. In this decade of the 1960s, overall employment is scheduled to rite about 20 per cent, but there will be no change in the proportion oi unskilled workers none at all. If you are uneducated or unskilled, you're doomed to enter the job "underworld." You'll always face the threat of unemployment at your job ii shot out from under you by automation. You'll start at the bottom of the pay scale and all the eddi are you'll not climb much above the bottom. As a dropout from school, your future is foretold by the present. This summer, while the general unemployment rate has ranged under 6 per cent, the rate among the unskilled has been almost double 11 per cent. Among the 900.000 who graduated from high school in June lflfil, and didn't go on to college, the unemployment rale in October Ifltil. was 18 per cent. Among the 350.000 youngsters age 16 to 24 who quit elementary or high school between January and mid-October 1061, the unemployment rale in fall was 27 per cent. Here U where the hard core of our unemployed lies among the young unskilled and the old unskilled. You need a high school diploma even for menial jobs today for instance, in Detroit industrial companies require a high school diploma for a sweeper. The reasons are: the firms don't expect the worker to remain a sweeper forever and they want a man whose education will quality him for promotion; there arc plenty of high school graduates around, so they don't need to settle lor less. Even when you get a job, as a dropout you're likclv In get an undesirable one. A full 28 per cent of the male drop outs in 11)61 who had obtained Jobs by October were working as farm laborers, and 40 per cent were working as factory laborers or semiskilled operatives. About two-fifths of the female dropouts were working in private households or as other types of service workers. Only one out of 10 of the dropouts had obtained a usually higher paying clerical Job. And 20 per cent of the dropouls who had found jobs were employed part time because they couldn't find full time Jobs. At a skilled worker, though your luture will be bright. In the 1960s, an additional 2.3 million jobt are due to open up for ..killed workert end 2.7 million othen will be come available at thote holding theie jobi trantler to other occupetlont, retire or die. Thit meant our economy will be looking for five million young, educated, tkilled men and women. If you ere trained, you'll not have trouble finding employment. Jobs which today don't seem to require much training such as simple clerical or office jobs will demand the train ing tomorrow. As automated equipment takes over more and more offices, employers will require trained personnel to operate the equipment. As automated machinery takes over more and more factories, managers will require workers Wtho can operate, service, repair the machinery. Th Job outlook for the educated and skilled young man and woman is superb. The Job outlook for the uneducated, unskilled dropout is "unplaced or displaced." It's as blunt as that which Is the "why" behind the warning "return to school." Ntxti Return for what? Where th (obi will be. VA Employees Group Is Assistance Organization White City The Veterans Administration has a unique organization within the civil service called the VA Em ployees association.
