'in this net addition of 13
million workers, the
' pioportion will consist of
workers, under 24 years,
older workers, over 45. A small
component of this increase, ac¬
tually fewer than a million, will
fall into what statisticians call
the prime working group, those
in the age group 25-44. This
primary working group is the
one which has had the most
training and posses.as. most ul
the skills we need.

vocational guidance, of ti aili¬
