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 fighting forces with a
continuous flood of materials. These men and
women are 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 makes
possible the meeting of its large commitments for ordnance and other war-steel products.
All other problems such as materials and supplies are secondary — the essential dependence
is on manpower.
Thousands of men from non-essential trades are joining Bethlehem war-work armies.
More than 13,000 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 in on-the-job training-
sympathetic study of each person’s abilities puts “square pegs in square holes.*
Wages arc the highest in«the history of shipbuilding and Med, and in the lop group of
all industries.
Promotion is rapid, as opportunity to advance comes far more swiftly than under normal
conditions.
Bethlehem employees are friendly, high-grade people. The great majority have education
in the high school grades, and thousands are graduates of colleges, crafts and professions.
More than 50,000 Bethlehem employees are now serying in die 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
Sows Nsw Bethlehem Employees From Vamous Occupations
Employment in Bethlehem’s shipbuilding and ship repair
yards alone has grown from 15,000 in 1939, to nearly 180,00a
The enlistment in our manpower army continues fnkn
week to week and from month to month. The total of
Bethlehem employees wiM exceed 300,000 by the end of
the year. To reach this total force, and provide for re
placements of those going into the armed services and
others, many thousands more men and women will
be hiraL r
FROM ALL OCCUPATIONS
Bethlehem workers come from Virtually every walk
of life to serve in these war-woek armies. Here are 60
instances of former occupations of men and women
who are now producing ships and combat materials.
