Lack of facts about the eco- nomics of Jewish life. Analysis of the problems faced Muskegon, Mid). 7." [C 4. The Clover Foundry Co. 1 Special services have been brought into being in the Jew- ish community on the basis of the special needs of Jewish youth and Jewish workers. These serv- ices must be evaluated periodi- cally to determine whether the aid offered is still necessary, whether their scope should be increased or decreased, or their function changed. The economic status of the Jewish community, in relation to the general economic situation should be known, as it is now not known, as currently as pos- sible. Theories of occupational un- balance pose a problem which may not exist, since askewed oc- cupational distribution may be typical rather than atypical of cultural - religious or national groups.If such a theory were ac- cepted as cogent, attempted solu- tions would be sound only if data on present occupational distribu- tion of Jews were available. Any step in providing counselling fa- cilities, employment help, or training resources, should be based on knowledge of the pres- ent status of Jewish workers. Anti - Semitic charges against Jews must be refuted as sound- ly as possible by citations of fact, never easily available. These areas are not mutually exclusive, but serve to separate the chief issues involved. The changes in economic life brought by the war and the operation of the factors listed above have tended to emphasize or minimize these problems. The dislocation of economic life resulting from the war pro- duction program has seriously af- fected the Jewish group. While comprehensive data are lacking, it is evident that Jews are nut greatly represented in heavy in- dustry, but have been concen- trated in small mercantile en- terprise, in the professions, and in consumer goods manufactur- ing. Excepting the professions, these have been most seriously affected by the war. Unable to secure typewriters or linoleum, lamps or furniture, the Jewish merchant must go out of bu:d- ness. The urban character of the Jewish population has also tended to work against him. MIT. orders have been slow in coming — to the very large cities. The opportunities for Jews in war employment, therefore, have been fewer than for the general popu- lation. Prior to the war Jewish youth had entered the metal trades in small numbers. When training in this field became available, Jew- ish youth seized the opportunity. However, as inexperienced work- ers. they are the last considered for employment. Up to the sum- mer of 1942, despite the need for workers, discrimination against Jews, as against Negroes, aliens, and persons of Italian or German parentage, was a very considerable bar to employment. This situation is epitomized in the attitude of the employer •:io the Government yesterday.

York' City and was therefore a radical._ The positive aspects of the effects of the war production pt,b- gram are also many. It is evi- dent that the overwhelming need for workers must eventually pro- vide employment for all who are callable of doing productive work. Jews, among others, will share in new work opportunities. The affirmative stand of the gov- ernment in urging fair employ- ment practices may not only de- crease discrimination, but may have far reaching effects aft.:?r the war. Acceptance of labor or- ganization by industry may fav- orably affect the employment of union members and therefore of Jewish union groups. Increasing government employment, with its relative freedom from discrimi- nation, has offered opportunities to Jews. The emphasis on pro- duction and on the metal trades, and the lack of opportunity in white collar and merchandising occupation, may be seen as an opportunity to "correct" the oc- cupational structure of the Jew- ish community. - The factors, forces, and trends listed form the background against which the Jewish boy or girl must make his vocational de- cision.
