§ Mr. Corrieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the number out of work by standard industrial classification in Scotland; and what were the corresponding job vacancies at the latest available date.
§ Mr. YoungerThe information requested regarding the number of people out of work by standard industrial classification is not available. The industrial analysis for people unemployed was last completed in May 1982 and has since been discontinued. Estimates of unemployment by broad sector of industry groups are expected to be available for Scotland later this year from the 1983 labour force survey.
The table shows the number of vacancies notified to jobcentres in Scotland and remaining unfilled on 4 May 1984 by standard industrial classification. The figures exclude community programme vacancies.
