Services provided by the Rural Manpower Service to 23 Michigan counties were described in this report. Services included those provided by the special projects, Operation Hitchhike and the Mobility Facilitator Unit. Major topics were program highlights, public relations, wages and earnings, rural manpower services, major crops, and employment and operations. Special migrant problems being encountered and anticipated in 1973 were listed. Possible solutions to problems included an intensified training program for work outside the migrant stream, and a public works program in home areas that pay wages above the legislated minimum rates so that the entire family does not have to work to support the household.
