§ Dr. Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many unfilled vacancies exist within the area of the Thorne Employment Exchange; and how many of these are for unskilled labour.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithAt 3rd November, the provisional number of notified vacancies remaining unfilled in the area covered by the Thorne Employment Exchange was 66.
The last comprehensive occupational analysis of unfilled vacancies for men and women was for 8th September. Out of 33 notified vacancies for men and women which were unfilled at that date, one was within the group of labouring and certain analogous occupations.
The statistics relate only to notified vacancies remaining unfilled and do not purport to measure the total unsatisfied demand for labour.
