Excerpt from Labor Turnover, Loyalty and Output: A Consideration of the Trend of the Times as Shown by the Results of War Activities in the Machine Shops and Elsewhere
The stress of war gave us little time to note the many changes which have taken place in the industries of the country. Now that it is over we are face to face with new problems and those who have not kept pace with the trend toward greater democracy in industry, are startled to find the changing conditions. But while this is perhaps the greatest problem, there are many others all of which bear on production and on future prosperity.
The demands of war work emphasized the need for a greater supply of trained mechanics of various kinds and showed very clearly the shortsightedness which had overlooked the fact that we were not training nearly enough men for the needs of industry. This shortage of trained men has had much to do with the great advance in wages, and with them, the cost of everyday commodities.
Spasmodic efforts have been made to create a supply of mechanics almost over-night, and splendid results have been accomplished by intensive training under qualified instructors in some places.
