Jobs will have t o be provided for at least 134,000 menand women of MontgomeryCounty in 1946 and for 140,'000 workers in 1950 if seriousunemployment is to be avoided, according to a joint reporof the War Production Boardand the Census Bureau issuedthis week.This est!!!:ate does not take intoconsideration the l ' eturn o f allcounty residents in the armedservices. While it is believed 1946may be the f irst postwar year, itis probable that many local menwiII s ti ll be in the Army and NavyThe estimate is based on normapopulation growth, recent population shifts, and changes in theout look of var ious age , sex andemploye groups.Women are expected t o t ot almore than 25 Pel' cent of thecountry's labor forces for the l'estof the decade. It is expected thatwomen workers wiII increase innumber, enter ing into more andmore indus tr ie s heretofore con

sidered exclusively masculine.Men are mos t cer t ain to be atwork if they are between 25 and 29years of age, the Government expelts said. The female group withthe largest concentration of employmentpersons is younger, rang.ingfrom 20 to 24.Age is losing its importance asa factorin retir ing women to theirhomes. Forthe last 20 Years, women worke rs f rom 35 to 50 haveshown a growing tendency to stickto their desks or work benches,Governmentauthorities say thatlightened housekeeping tasks, thedeclining birtIi rate. and decreasing self-employment enable moreandmorewomen towork in officesand factories.
