Description
The "I need your skill in a WAR JOB!" slogan highlighted the shortage of skilled workers during World War II.
This poster also advertised for less skilled jobs, such as bus driver, ship painter, and wood cutter. Other jobs, such as explosives mixing operator, tack welder, and ship assembler, required specific training.
