§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many jobs there were for men in Wales in 1964; and how many there are at the latest available date.
§ Mr. GoldingAt December 1975, the latest date for which information is available, it is provisionally estimated that 449W there were 601,000 male employees in employment in Wales. At the same time, there were 2,249 vacancies for males notified to employment offices and 303 notified to careers offices. These latter figures are likely to involve some duplication.
In June 1965—the earliest date for which there are figures that can be compared with the current employment series—it is estimated that there were 708,000 male employees in employment in Wales. At the same time, 6,812 vacancies for males were notified to this Department.
At both times there would be an unknown number of vacancies which were not notified to the Department.
