This 1936 silkscreen poster, produced for the Illinois office of the National Youth Administration, speaks directly to girls with the question "are you interested in a job?" and promises to show what a career could offer them. The National Youth Administration was a New Deal program created in 1935 to help young people stay in school or find work during the Great Depression, and it ran vocational guidance and job training for women as well as men. Posters like this one were produced under the Federal Art Project, part of the Works Progress Administration, which put artists to work designing public information materials. The Library of Congress holds the piece in its Work Projects Administration Poster Collection, and a date stamp on the back records its circulation in August 1937.
