This is the story of manpower in Bethlehem steel
mills and shipyards, of men and women who have
come by the thousands from all walks of life to
do a job in backing up our lighting forces with a
continuous Hood of materials. I liese men and
women arc vital to the battle of production
Manpower at Bethlehem Steel has been multi-
plied three times in three and a half years. Here
are the figures
Facts About Bethlehem Workers
Manpower is the heart of Bethlehem's current production of a ship a day. Manpower nukes
possible the meeting of its large commitments for ordnance and oilier war-steel products
All oilier problems such as materials and supplies arc secondary — die essential dependence
is on manpower
Thousands of men from non-esseniul trades are joining Bethlehem war work armies.
More than 15,000 women are employed at Bethlehem plants and shipyards, and the num-
ber is constantly increasing
Veteran employees are zealously teaching the newcomers, so that they can quickly handle
their appointed tasks.
New employees earn while they learn, in special training classes and 111 on the-job training
Sympathetic study of each person's abilities puts "square pegs in square holes
Wages are the highest in the history of shipbuilding and steel, and in the top group of
all industries.
Promotion is rapid, as opportunity to advance comes far more sw iftly than under normal
conditions.
Bethlehem employees are friendly, high grade people The greal majority have educauon
111 the high school grades, and thousands are graduates of colleges, ciatts and professions
More than 50,000 Bethlehem employees are now serving in the armed forces, a fact which
gives added seriousness of purpose to those working to produce the supplies.
To work in Bethlehem shipyards and plants is to be in the front line of industry, doing a
real job to help win the war
Some Ntw Buhiehim tMPioYEes Trom Vakious Occupations
Employment in Bethlehem's shipbuilding and ship repau
yards alone lias grown from 15,000 in 1939, to nearly 180,000.
The enlistment in our manpower army continues from
week to week and from month to month. The total of
Bethlehem employees will exceed 300,000 by the end of
the year. To reach tins total force, and provide for re
placements of those going into the armed services and
others, many thousands more men and women will
be lured.
FROM ALL OCCUPATIONS
Bethlehem workers tome from virtually every walk
of lite to serve in these * «r-work *rnues Here are 60
instances of former occupations of men and womeu
*ho are now prodding ships and combat materials.
