The 91 who were on jobs when their rehabilitation was started were in danger of losing their jobs through disability, were endangering their own health or safety and that of others, or were in unsuitable and unsatisfactory employment, the records indicated. It is estimated that the annual rate of earnings of the rehabilita ted group was increased from $158,028.00 before rehabilitation to $927,108.00 after rehabilitation. This increased rate of earning will continue to add to the parekaa- ing power of the state for year«, Feike said. In contrast, rehabili tation costs are paid only ease; and last year averaged $239.70 per fully rehabilitated case. The Fed eral government paid $ 184,883. vsl of the cost of operating the State'» program; the State, $83,555.
