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

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
