Rural Manpower Service

The Rural Manpower Service, an integral part of Employment  Service, is charged with the responsibility for providing technical advice and assistance in developing a program which will render equity of access to manpower and related services to rural workers and employers, both agricultural and nonagricultural. The primary thrust is in geographic areas not usually considered within the initial service area. The broad spectrum of services offered to rural residents and migrant and seasonal farm workers includes all those offered by the local office plus inspection of migrant labor camps, investigating and reporting of farm labor contractors under the Federal Contractors Registration Act. The Service endeavors to shift the seasonal work force from areas of supply to areas of demand. This accomplishment should be realized through efficient utilization of all available local workers. Full cooperation is offered other states to ensure that migrant workers secure full employment by arranging work schedules through the Rural Manpower Mobility Plans.
