Industrial analyses of employment in Scotland are available only for June in each year. The estimated numbers of employees in employment in Scotland in the jute industry—minimum list heading 415 of the 1958 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification—at June, 1964, and June, 1968, were 16,500 and 14,500, respectively. The estimates for June, 1969, will be available early next year.
