NEWS RELEASE August 3, 1962
Early this spring, Gil Johnson, Comm
issioner of the Alaska Department of Labor,

in hiring youth to fill job openings where
they would qualify, particularly the idle
high school and college students available
during the summer months. The program,

called ’’Jobs for Youth", was part of a
nationwide drive spurred by the U.S.
Secretary of Labor, Arthur Goldberg.
And is statistics offer proof, the
call was heeded by Alaskans. The Labor
office reports that for May and June of
1962, there were 306 persons under 20 years
old hired, compared with’ the same period
last year whixh showed only 237-- an inc
rease of nearly 30 per cent.
In keeping with the drive to give the
youth the opportunity, the Alaska Dept, of
Highways has hired more than 400 temporary
employees for the summer months, according
to John J. Machling, Personnel Officer.
Practically all the new employees
are residents and many are recent high
school graduates or college students horn e
for the summer, he said.
