HC Deb 18 May 1976 vol 911 c487W
28. Mr. Jessel

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many vacancies are now registered.

Mr. Golding

At 2nd April 117,396 vacancies notified to employment offices and 23,594 notified to careers offices remained unfilled in Great Britain. Because of possible duplication, the separate series for employment offices and careers offices should not be added together nor do they constitute a measure of total vacancies in the economy.
