Abstract

The great exodus of Spanish-Americans which has taken almost one-half of the men and boys of working age from rural New Mexican villages has been described in a companion report.2 Most of these migrants from the rural villages are in the armed forces or are engaged in what they call "defense work" - constructing army cantonments and air fields - and similar types of war activity. Many of these rural villagers will learn trades and mechanical skills. The present report deals with another group of Spanish-speaking migrants - those graduated from the New Mexico Schools for Vocational Training for War Production. The trainees who have been placed number approximately 3,5003 and have practically all become skilled welders, mechanics, and other craftsmen now actively participating in the war effort.
