HC Deb 19 October 1976 vol 917 c419W
Mr. David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish in the Official Report the figures for the number of registered unemployed and for the number of notified vacancies for Eastleigh, Hampshire, for the month of September for each year since 1970.

Mr. Golding

The following table shows the numbers registered as unemployed and notified unfilled vacancies in the Eastleigh employment office area:

NOTIFIED VACANCIES REMAINING UNFILLED
Numbers unemployed Employment Office Careers Office
September 1970 343 138 165
September 1971 419 97 136
September 1972 380 191 137
September 1973 210 508 313
September 1974 293 338 186
September 1975 744 84 35
September 1976 948 84 47

The vacancy figures relate only to vacancies notified to the employment office and careers office and are not a measure of total vacancies in the area. Because of possible duplication the two series should not be added together.
