Jewish organizations have been cooperating with governmental bureaus in Rumania to solve the unemployment situation among Rumanian Jews who have been thrown out of work by the progressive socialization of the national economy and as a result of the war, it was reported here today.
The Government Labor Bureau, the State Planning Commission and the Federation of Jewish Communities, by their joint efforts, placed nearly 2,000 Jews in jobs during May, the report said. This total includes skilled and unskilled workers and businessmen displaced in the new economy.
A new system of retraining the economically displaced Jews was put into effect last month. The individuals are placed in factories for first-hand study and receive a wage from the first day they enter the plant, thus removing them from the relief rolls.
