COMMITTEE ON LABOR AND PUBLIC WELFARE JAMES E. MURRAY, Montana Majority JOHN S. FORSYTHE STEWART E. MCCLURE WILLIAM G. REIDY H. ALEXANDER SMITH, New Jersey GEORGE H. BENDER, Ohio GORDON ALLOTT, Colorado Staff Minority MICHAEL J. BERNSTEIN Special Consultants on Aging WILBUR J. COHEN HELEN E. LIVINGSTON (On loan from the Legislative Reference Service, Library of Congress) INTRODUCTION This Chart Book, "Job Opportunities for Older Workers," is a special supplement to volume IV of the Studies of the Aged and Aging. It was prepared by the Department of Labor, at the request of the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare, and is based on information obtained from a series of reports of the Department which are summarized in document I of volume IV (pp. 5 to 85). It is printed as a supplement because the charts had not been completed when volume IV on "Employment" went to press. Any conclusions or points of emphasis are, naturally, those of the Department of Labor, and do not necessarily represent the views of the committee. Mrs. Aryness Joy Wickens, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Manpower and Employment, provided overall guidance and direction to the staff preparing the chart book. Charles E. O'Dell, coordinator for older worker programs in the Department of Labor, directed the gathering and interpretation of the data, with assistance of Faith Williams, Raymond Larson, and Alice Wells of the Bureau of Labor Statistics; Lazor Paves, Norman Medvin, and Abraham Stahler of the Bureau of Employment Security; and Marguerite Zapoleon of the Women's Bureau. |
