...high-18,590,000 as compared with 11,000,000 before the war. Nevertheless, the number of women in manufacturing dropped 134,000 between January and May of this year. And the July top came largely from seasonal gains (chiefly agricultural) and a summer influx of student workers. The net result is that the woman-power pool, largest U.S. labor reserve, is showing signs of drying up. But the possibility that the total labor force may fall below minimum needs before the end of the war emergency is remote...
...Senate Small Business Committee cheerfully reported last week: in the first two years of war, only 17% more firms shut their doors than in the last two years of peace-despite rationing, shortages of men and goods, etc. The net shrinkage was from 3,340,000 U.S. firms at the time of Pearl Harbor to 2,840,000 at the end of last year. But an analysis of the casualties was brighter than the bare figures...

It seems that both of these boys chanced upon the same young lady. While no willow thing, she was a girl, and that's something. Net result of the encounter: two badly bruised young Ensigns. It seen Miss Wellesley was the captain of the crew up there, and had no mean handshake...
...years after the war," continued Finer, "we must send men into the backward regions of the earth, as in Chile recently, to transfer skills to the people so that they may use them independently. Skill is the one thing you can give away without losing it yourself. And the net result will make loans to these countries good long-view investments, since new prosperity to the countries being transformed will mean added prosperity to the already industrialized nations experiencing an employment spurt in supplying the implements for the transformation...
...rolls together accounted for one-fifth of the rise over June 1943. But the biggest factor (two-fifths of the 10% increase) was the continued rise in military payments-in pay to Army and Navy personnel, allowances to dependents and mustering-out pay. As a result, factory payrolls and net farm-operating income, which from June 1941 to June 1943 accounted for nearly half the individual income rise, were far less significant contributors...
