Mathematically Trained Personnel Needed in the Government Service

In the present era of national mobilization and rearmament the problem of personnel selection for civilian federal employment becomes increasingly important. It is proposed to discuss herein the latest trends in employment policies and practices in government service with emphasis on implications for teachers and counselors in mathematics. The main source of the data was the United States Civil Service Commission which holds examinations in hundreds of cities throughout the country, covering jobs in all grades and classifications. Information desired concerning a particular kind of job, or examination therefore, should be requested from them in Washington, D.C., or from one of their other 13 regional offices.
