The Employment Service has co-operative arrangements with most of the states, which maintain over 200 placement offices. Usually the state officer in charge of employment work is appointed federal director of the United States Employment Service for that state. The government makes a small allotment of funds to each state, which principally goes to the payment of salaries. Free postage privileges are granted for employment business. The service is active in industrial employment information work, which has to do with feeling the pulse of the labor market, for which purpose the country is divided into geographical districts, and special agents are appointed in the largest industrial centers, and submit the same to Washington, where the data are analyzed to learn the "trend" in employment. 4. Activities; Agricultural Labor This is the only direct employment work carried on by the service personnel. By analyzing farm and crop conditions and the probable sources of labor supply, estimates are made of the relation of supply and demand in labor and the means of bringing the two together. Posters are distributed and correspondence attended to in the way of recruiting, directing, and distributing regular farm hands and seasonal labor for wheat harvest, cotton picking, apple picking, corn husking, and work in the sugar beet fields and factories. 5. Activities; Juvenile Work The juvenile work is directed in behalf of the juniors between the legal working age and 21 years. Its mission is to aid the schools in assisting pupils to pursue a definite occupational responsibility, in which they may become efficient, productive, and constructive workers; to secure them in employment best adapted to their abilities; and to afford the type of employment supervision that will encourage efficiency, full development of abilities, adaptability, and stability. 6. Organization 1. The Director General is the executive head, appointed by, and responsible to, the Secretary of Labor. He is assisted by an Assistant Director General. The office proper of the Director General has direct supervision of the work of co-operation with, and financial aid to, state and municipal employment agencies throughout the United States.
