Warning Against Dead-end Jobs
"Too many boys on leaving School content themselves with seeking out the job which offers the highest monetary reward for the present,” says the annual report of the Master Grocers’ Federation, presented at the annual conference in Napier.
"Not only does this attitude have adverse effects upon the boys but it denudes industries of staff which they need and which, under more normal conditions they would have. The number of young men who are today in dead-end jobs is a problem with which the Government should concern itself. No country can be truly prosperous if its citizens of tomorrow live for today only and whilst this philosophy is making a marked impact on the grocery trade we feel that this note of warning is one which should be heeded by all who have the welfare of our country and its people at heart.”
