HC Deb 02 February 1981 vol 998 c62W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many registered vacancies for work in Dundee occurred in May 1979; and how many exist at present.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

The information is set out in the table below.

Number of Vacancies notified to
Employment Offices Careers Offices
May 1979 787 78

Note 1: The figures are not a measure of total vacancies but represent only the number of vacancies notified to employment offices and careers offices and remaining unfilled on the day of the count.

Note 2: Because of possible duplication the two series should not be added together.

Note 3: The figures are not seasonally adjusted.
