- 25 - 53. Nor can the demand for metallurgy be met by skilled workers. In the Skoda plants and the Witkowitzerwerke numerous apprentices from the Sudetengau were brought to strengthen the German number of workers, short-time work is continued in the textile industry - which is mainly due to a lack of raw materials, work which, besides skilled workers, requires large-scale auxiliary workers, must be carried out in the construction industry. The enormous demand for strength in the Protectorate, which is due not least to the considerable use of workers in the Reich, now makes it necessary to steer the labour input in the same way as it was started in the Empire years ago. This development is characterised by the increased use of women in industry and by the use of students and students in industry, agriculture and industry, and the fact that already-placed workers are being checked to see whether they are employed in accordance with their knowledge and skills, thus succeeding. It is important to note that, in order to achieve this objective, it is necessary to take account of the needs of the labour market and to take into account the needs and needs of young people in the labour force. The steering of the wage policy of the Labour Inspectorate according to German principles required the appointment of a German head of the pay department in the Ministry of Social Affairs, who is supposed to carry out the previous autonomous wage policy according to the Reich principles, the most important task of the wages policy was to continue the initial adjustment of wages after the reduction of the general wage and salary allowance corresponding to the changed living costs.
