§ Mr. Wheelerasked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the total number of job vacancies in the Greater London area on the most recent convenient day, breaking the numbers down into each London borough.
§ Mr. Jim LesterAt 6 June, the numbers of notified vacancies remaining unfilled in the Greater London area were 36,522 at employment offices and 7,412 at careers offices.
The information for employment offices cannot be aggregated to provide figures for each London borough because of boundary differences. The following table gives the numbers of vacancies at each employment office and careers office within Greater London. It should be noted that, whilst vacancies are notified to particular offices, they may be filled by anyone seeking work in that area.
Vacancies notified to employment offices are estimated to be about one-third of all vacancies in the country as a whole. Because of possible duplication the figures for employment 668W offices and careers offices should not be added together.
