Abstract	This policy statement on job training for the urban poor explores ways of abating poverty, considers current manpower training and employment programs, and makes a number of recommendations for strengthening and improving them. In addition, concern is expressed for increasing the productivity of the national economy by making the labor force as a whole more productive and utilizing it more fully. The paper discusses poverty and employment, evolution of a national manpower policy, and recommended directions for manpower policy. Some of the recommendations are: (1) that special remedial and job training programs continue for the indefinite future; (2) that special attention and possibly major policy changes are required to combat the high rate of unemployment among young people, particularly the disadvantaged; (3) that ways of motivating young blacks and other minority group members to view employment as a source of satisfaction are needed; and (4) that special attention should be given to the provision of more adequate training for those in penal and correctional institutions.
