For the sake of interest, I would like to inform you below of a note taken from the magazine "Werkstatttechnik - der Betrieb" No. ll/12, THPN November-December 1943, published in the 7lend0 order of the Association of German Engineers. ex " Der Facharbeiterproportion in der Armungsindustrie. According to surveys carried out in l6 major German industrial jatoids with which l3 million German labour force were recorded, l0 labour force accounts for 6 skilled workers / 60.8% /. In relation to the male labour force of these 3tda branches of industry, the proportion of skilled workers is even 7l.2%. In England, a similar study was carried out for mid-1939 at around 6 million. The proportion of skilled workers in the labour force is 3,8 %, i.e. only 3 skilled workers are employed, a ratio which is likely to have been even less favourable as a result of the convening of military service. In addition, the term skilled workers is usually narrower than in other countries, where long-term employment in the same job is often entitled to lead this profession without vocational training or regular training. Similar is the case for the USA, whose war industry is estimated to have about 40% of real skilled workers. " WE And dJQS 6051 11.MAI044 21 5 / Dr. Adolf / Prague, March 8, 1944. St. M.√ H- 2644
