Returning veterans and young non-veteran workers are con. stantly asking themselves this question. What will my social and economic status be tomorrow and in ten or twenty years from now? The average worker of today who has not found a definite career whether he be young or veteran, is also pondering along these lines. The normal answer is, their status would be determined large ly by the amount of energy, intel ligence. action, and training they use and get. For those of unusual skills and abilities, there will always be job opportunities and good ones at that The increasing tendency is to preclude race, religious and and color barriers for the train and skilled. Competition is grow ing keener for the middle level employment bracket and it will be getting harded to get johs in the middle levels. Employment trends are not heavy in the field of industry and agriculture. There will always be numerous jobs in these fields but the increase is towards service professionsi In the service incfustriesy there is an unprecedented d emand for competent and trained workers in stores, cafes, newspapers and ; magazines, radio, entertainment, medicine, dentistry, teachers and in the general field of education. One reason why careers in the above feilds will be profitable is because a natural shortage wa3 created when the war removed a whole generation of college tech nicians and profesional people. It removed also a generation of skilled mechanics from the train ed list. In the field of Science there will be big demands for at least two decades. This is equally true in the vocation of Law. Teaching, Medicine, and Business Adminis tration. As for doctors, dentists, psychologists, psychiatrists, soc ial workers and well trained teachers, the demand will be big for more than two decades. At this present time trained social workers in all categories are needed badly in all areas by pri vate agencies, local governmental sub-divisions and demtnds on the federal government have caused Uncle Sam to be in the market for numerous social service work ers. Like in the teaching profess ion however, one must be expertly trained or have years of exper ience before acceptance. Psychol ogists, especially clinical psychol ogists are solely in demand. Per sons who have ability and an in. telligent approach to various kinds of approach to various OMAHA URBAN LEAGUE kinds of entertainment and who are skilled in atheletics and re creation can easily get good jobs, especially those who fortify their abilities with training and can teach as well as participate. Another gaad employment field for a career that has been making strides is plant housekeeping. The old practice was to have men and women with a lot of brooms and mops, but it is changing fast to a science known as ‘Sanitizing’. To become a Sanitizer one has to learn the skill. It calls for fewer people to do the work, but for those who learn, waes are good. The Sanitizer cleans factories, warehouses and private homes & large places. He knows the art of using cleaning materials and equipment. He knows sanitation and how to eliminate rats, roach es and other pests. Only a few years ago it was al most unheard of to find a Negro in one of the Nations large and pre-eminent universities but to_ day they are teaching in twenty, five such institutions. Among them are New York University, Columbia, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Hunter, Harvard, Chicago U. Bos ton U., Illinois Tech, Depaw; Vas sarsar, and others. It might be well for some youngster in Omaha who chooses the field of education to aim at one of these top notch places. Present trends show unusual progress for Negroes in Technical and professional Occupa t i o n Trends. They are getting jobs af ter qualifying in such fields as Chemistry, Electronics; Engineer ing. Draftsman. Analysts. Mathe matics Newspaper reporters, Per sonei Activities, Investigators of various kinds. Artists Models, Radio Actors and many more new and lucretive fields of endea vor. The field of Transportation is opening up in many places and it appears that the demand on the part of Negro citizens will cause this field to open up jobs to Neg roes every where. In many plac es Negroes have been accepted in large numbers for street car con ductors. motormen and bus driv ers. Reports show Negroes are now getting top jobs in banks, insurance companies, utilities and telephone companies and in large department stores. Recent reports are encouraging these new job stratifications. Negro women by their qualifications are being accepted as receptionists, secret aries and information clerks in large office buildings. Negroes must not overlook fresh occupa Continued from page 1) NAACP ASKS CLEMENCY SENTENCED VET ing the entire remaining portion of his sentence of confinement for life at hard labor and by per mitting him to reenlist in the ser vice so that he might obtain an honorable discharge.

Where they can not become skilled through ap prenticship acceptance in labor unions, they must seek these skills in trade schools; the kind that are large enough to give practice training as well as theory. Barriers in the building trade has a tendency #to crack when the Negro presents himself as a fin ished product in such fields as Agricultural Engineering, 'Brick Masons, Building Construction Trades, Pre-fabrication and For., estry. Other good fields to consider for those who wish to prepare and for which the racial barriers will not hinder are industrial research, hotel v Management, pharmacy, piano tuners, public health nurs ing and the rubber industry. There is an alarming shortage in the field of prepared ministry. THESE ARE DEFINITE TREN DS FOR NEGROES TO CON SIDER.
