The so-called "priorities unemployment" has been estimated as bringing about an unemployment of two million workers. One of the difficulties in allotting these contracts is Ityand in the official report that forty per cent of defense subcontractors -have a submarginal credit rating and would therefore ex from normaj banking channels.
