Labor Placement For 45-Year-Clds Making Progress, State Reveals : SALEM The Oregon Slate I Employment Service revealed some interesting statistics this week with regard to placement of senior workers (45 years and old er) in its continued effort to find work for all categories of unem-i ployed persons who want jobs. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1961, 21.2 per cent of all non-agricultural placements made by the Oregon Employment Serv ice was for applicants 45 years old or older. This compares to a national average of 19.8 per cent for this age .bracket employe placement in 1960. Actually 14,874 persons, 45 or old er, were placed in jobs by Ore gon Employment Service during the 1961 Fiscal Year. This com pared to 14,916 in fiscal 1960 and 12,624 in fiscal 1959. A continued Interest by the em ployment service in counseling and placing the older workers is pointed up by several examples of specific results. For Instance, in the Salem area during the past year, the follow ing older workers were placed in jobs as follows: janitor, age 76, placed after seven months; bus driver, age 46, in three months; maintenance mechanic, age 52, placed in less than a month, maintenance mechanic, age 50, in six months; maintenance mechan ic, age 55, in two months; book keeper, age 63, In less than a month and a car nter, age 61, placed In one month. In the Pendleton area a 63-year- old sheepherder was hired by an employer as a trail crew mem ber though he was at first reluct ant because of age. Also a 57-year- old auto mechanic was placed through job development within two days after filing a new appli cation. In the Portland area an older veteran paraplegic (due to an in dustrial accident), was trained by department of vocational rehabili tation as a bookkeeper and is now a bookkeeper for a credil un ion; an older veteran who has been a tuberculosis patient, an al coholic, an epileptic and an ex- prize fighter and was 'a mechanic in the service was placed as a handy man maintaining gasoline and equipment and will teach boys the art of self-defense In a boys' school; also an older tubercular patient and an alcoholic was placed as a general office clerk in a boating supply firm. The Oregon State Employment Service has always had a specif ic interest In alleviating the prob lem of older worker placement stressing the fact that "ability is ageless." National surveys by the U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. Department of Commerce show that by 1965 it is estimated that most of the population in crease will be in the younger and older age groups. Population will then he made up, the studies esti mate, of 34.3 million 14 to 24 year olds; 46.4 million 25 to 44 year I olds; 39.1 million 35 to 64 year MAIN STHEET BUILDING For Sale or Lease (AVAILABLE FEBRUARY 1st, 1962) Main Floor 2,850 tq. ft.
