Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1971 Labor Dept. Provides $266,040 for Four Youth Corps Projects Not the Poor to Convince, But the Employer Says National Alliance The National Alliance of Businessmen Job Opportunity in the Business Sector program lias been in operation in Utah for nearly three years and nationally almost four.

One of the primary causes of the Detroit and Watts riots was high unemployment among the low skilled, untrained, poverty stricken population of those areas. While the ashes were still warm the NAB-JOB- S program came into being of and, course, response to the program was very enthusiastic.
