Skilled and professional manpower in Canada, 1945-1965 / by Economics and Research Branch, Department of Labour.: Z1-1955/2-41-28E-PDF
"Skilled and professional workers of almost every kind are a key factor in Canadian economic growth. Modern industrial development depends more and more on the application of scientific and engineering knowledge to industrial processes and products. While technology frequently reduces or eliminates the need for certain kinds of skilled workers, it also creates a need for new types of skills to plan, to produce, to maintain and in many cases to operate the increasingly complex machines it produces. Such changes also increase requirements for professional and highly technical workers per unit of national output. National defence expenditures, as well as technical advances, create a significant added pressure on scarce supplies of skilled and professional manpower"--Summary of Major Findings, page vii.
