Between 1953 and 1961. over 166.000 immigrants entering this country possessed skills in such critical job areas as physics. nursing. medicine. teaching. engineering. and other kindred fields. These are occupations declared to be in short supply by the Technical Committee on Critical Occupations of the Labor Department. occupations which are used by the Selective Service in determining deferments in the national interest.
