Page i of_·_ _ " SCRIPT VISUAL "'l'!"""""""'-___________________________ When the communit.v welfare is in danger, and when opportunity SLIDE # 1 o;;a_ knocks, it's traditional in Atlanta that businessmen give the most important leadership. Our subject today is loaded with danger and opportunity. SLIDE # 2 This presentation was brought about by five organizations serving our community -- ,mder the leadership of businessmen. Businessmen giv_e intelligent direction toward worthwhile gcals, and they use special abilities to shape effective programs. Their dedication has inspired the support and participation of other vital community elements. ' These organizations are ... SLIDE # SLIDE # SLIDE # .j SLIDE # SLIDE # l: r 'f 5 ' 1 .•. The City of Atlanta .•• ••• The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce ..• ••• The Community Council of the Atlanta Area . • . •.• The Greater Atlanta United Appe al. .. •.• and Economic Opportunit_y Atlanta, Incorporated. _,,,~ �Page 2. of _ _ SCRIPT VISUAL. As Atlanta grows, so grows the need for continued leadership by businessmen. With Atlanta's growth, the very problems these organizations exist to :meet will keep on growing. We want to concentrate on just one of these problem8: JOBS . . . SLIDE# g These organizations are all concerned with jobs. Employment • SLIDE # !J 'f .. ••• and unemployment ... are at the core of their p:rograms • Atlanta's attractiveness as a place to live and do busi.ne s s depends a great deal on the municipal services of the city•.. - schools, water supply, str eets , fire protection and p0lice protection. Local tax funds support the city and fin~.nce these services. Thus, the e}..i :ent and quality of munic~pal ser vices depend on whether ther e i s profitable business activity, and whether our citizens are productively employed •. ! I I ·II SUDE # 0 JQ The Chamber of Commer ce seeks a continually growing busine s s community. It l ooks for growth in industry a.-id jobs .. • which s timul ate trade: And it seeks growth in 'I l I I l community facilities which, . in turn, help bring in more i industry and more jobs. �Page 3 of _ _ SCRIPT VISUAL - The Community Council is a social planning agency. It helps SLIDE # coordinate growth by collecting and analyzing facts, by helping develop programs of community benefit, and by getting sponsorship for needed programs. SLIDE # I? The United Appeal supports agencies with purpo8es related to the social needs of our community ..• in health, rc(:reation, family counseling, and care for children and the agt:J - Filling these social needs is often the key to getting a job, or keeping it. The Urban League and Goodwill Industries are ~ .' o United Appeal agencies with functions directly related to jobs. Si.,IDE # j~ Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Incorporated, br j_r1gs t c:;ether all segments of the city in a concerted effort agai nst p0verty. E-0-A coordinates and channels services to the ·poor, and starts new services for needs which ar en 't being met. E-0-A tries to help people help themselves ••• to make them c ont r ibuting members of s ociety••. and t o break the vicious ···cycle of poverty that becomes m ore serious with each generation. �Page_!j_of _ _ SCRIPT VISUAL There are many other agencies which offer services in the field of employment and unemployment. The organizations ,~ we mentioned work closely with a number of them, sharing information, facilities and ideas. You probably are fa.--niliar with the programs of thes e other agencies, or :1erhaps have I participated in one of the programs. To name just a fP.W of I I· ., I • ,>.

Our subject today is loaded with danger and opportunity. This presentation was brought about by five organizations serving our community -- under the leadership of businessmen. Businessmen give intelligent direction toward worthwhile gcals, and they use special abilities to shape effective programs. Their dedication has inspired the simmer and participation of other vital community elements. These organizations are... ... The City of Atlanta... -+-The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce... «+».

With Atlanta's growth, the very problems these organizations exist to meet will keep on growing. We want to concentrate on just one of these problems: JOBS. . These organizations are all concerned with jobs. Employment .-.and unemployment...are at the core of their programs. Atlanta's attractiveness as a place to live and do business depends a great deal on the municipal services of the city... schools, water supply, streets, fire protection and police protection. Local tax funds support the city wii finance these services. Thus, the extent and quality of municipal services depend on whether there is profitable business activity, and whether our citizens are productively employed. . The Chamber of Commerce seeks a continually growing business community. It looks for growth in industry and jobs...which stimulate trade. And it seeks growth in community facilities which,.in turn, help bring in more industry and more jobs. VISUAL. Page J of SCRIPT SLIDE # 1d SLIDE # IL SLIDE # I3 The Community Council is a social planning agency. It helps coordinate growth by collecting and analyzing facts, by helping develop programs of community benefit, and by getting sponsorship for needed programs. The United Appeal supports agencies with purposes related to the social needs of our community...in health, recreation, family counseling, and care for children and the aged. Filling these social needs is often the key to getting a job, or keeping it. The Urban League and Goodwill Industries are two United Appeal agencies with functions directly related to jobs. Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Incorporated, brings together all segments of the city in a concerted effort against poverty. ' E-O-A coordinates and channels services to the poor, and starts new services for needs which aren't being met. E-O-A tries to help people help themselves. ..to make them contributing members of society...and to break the vicious “eycle of poverty that becomes more serious with each generation. VISUAL Page bi. of SCRIPT SLIDE # | There are many other agencies which offer services in the field of employment and unemployment. The organizations we mentioned work closely with a number of them, sharing information, facilities and ideas.

The State Employment Service of the Georgia Denartment of Labor...our vocational 4 ..

One example of such datais a study based on interviews with 47,000 people, between 16 and 75 years old, living VISUAL ale Page 1G. of SCRIPT sup # YG SLIDE # 4") SLIDE¢ 4% SLIDE ¢ 44 SLIDE # §O SLIDE # SJ supe #¢ SZ SLIDE # S53 supe ¢ Sf in poverty neighborhoods. These interviews were conducted about 18 months ago through 12 neighborhood centers of the E-O-A, Here's what the study found out about these 47, 000 people: won OT per cent earned less than $3,000 a year. ...52 per cent of all households were headed =y women, _ «+82 per cent were Negroes. ...57 per cent of the adults did not graduate from high school. ---5 per cent had a fourth grade education or Icss. ..~7 per cent had no formal education at all. -».12 per cent needed medical aid to remove a work handicap. ..~ll per cent claimed no job skill, or only farni work as experience, e-e2 per cent were 65 or older. Of all those seeking work, 65 per cent were Negro women. About two out of three said they would like to have more vocational training in hopes of improving their lot. VISUAL ehone 58 supE # $6 Page } / of SCRIPT A composite would be difficult to draw. But look at two case histories: A typical case...A woman, 33, divorced, mother of four children. She has a seventh grade education. Works es a maid and makes 28 dollars a week. Pays 12 doliars of that for a three-room apartment. Her children are left alone while she works because day care would cost two-thi.ds of her weekly salary. Another case, less typical but just as real...A young man, 22. Completed the fifth grede in a rural school. He is married to a young woman who completed the third grade. They are expecting a child soon. They live with his sister and her five children...eight persons in four rooms. He has worked as a delivery boy and busboy, averaging a dollar an hour. He has serious problems with a loan company. VISUAL SLIDE 4.57 supz¢ 58 Page 18 of SCRIPT These two have jobs, of sorts, for the time being. But theiv future is uncertain and prospects are poor that they will e=3 ever hold jobs at a level much higher. They lack the skill and educational attainment to fill some of the vacancies which we know exist. For instance, the State Employment Service reports a large unfilled demand for several job skills... .-.-Comptometer operators, stenographers, secretaries, typists, telephone operators , file clerks, cashiers, key pznch operators, draftsmen...not the sort of jobs to be filled by a fifth-grade drop-out, or by an untrained domestic. There are other types of jobs requiring less skill, which still have a demand greater than the supply of people to hold them: Food service and preparation, hotels and motels, building maintenance, and repair and installation work. =  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

EARL LANDERS, Administrative Assistant MRS, ANN M, MOSES, Executive Secretary DAN E. SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental Liaison MEMORANDUM To: Members of Urban Coalition Steering Committee i -y From: Dan Sweat. Enclosed is a letter of invitation and program concerning the December 13 meeting of the Task Force on Private Employment of the National Urban Coalition, I hope that all of you can make your plans to attend this important conference. We might need to ask members of the Steering Committee to actively participate in the workshops as part of panel discussions. If this should be the case, I will notify you at the earliest possible moment. Iam also attaching a letter from Mr. M. C. Gettinger, Executive Director of the Atlanta Jewish Welfare Federation, Inc., which is a newly formed central agency involving the Atlanta Jewish Community Council, the Jewish Welfare Fund and the Jewish Social Service Federation. As Mr. Gettinger's letter states, the Federation represents virtually all the adult Jewish organizations in Atlanta and would be the most appropriate representative of all the Jewish organizations on the Urban Coalition Steering Committee. Several organizations and many individuals have called my attention to the fact that the Jewish community is not represented on the Steering Committee and I feel that the Steering Committee should give some thought to inviting Mr. Abe Goldstein, President of the Atlanta Jewish Welfare Federation, Inc., to serve as a member of the Steering Committee.

PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT On November 21 the Task Force on Private Employment met in Detroit with the Employment and Education Committee of the New Detroit Committee. The meeting was chaired by William M. Day, president of Michigan Bell Telephone Company. In his remarks to the group, Task Force-Co-Chairman Gerald Phillippe, Chairman of the Board of the General Electric Company, said “As a representative of the Task Force on Private Employment I have been encouraging businessmen to enter into a regular program of exchanging ideas on this subject and pitching in on useful programs to get at some of these urgent needs. All sectors of the society need to help each other and we need to join together in useful programs to create new opportunities for self-realization in our City slums." "In some cities it would sound strange, but there is a growing feeling among businessmen of my acquaintance and among some of our own General Electric plant managers that a substantial measure of our business success in the future is going to depend on our ability to help a good number of these hard-core unemploy- ables become productive workers and citizens." HOUSING, RECONSTRUCTION AND INVESTMENT The Task Force met in New York on November 21. Twelve additional members have been recruited to work with this group. A major working paper is being developed to guide this Task Force in developing a long-range program.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
