§ Mr. LeeFollowing is the available information, which is also in the Library. On the 14 January 1988 the number of unemployed claimants in the Waveney local authority area was 5,164. The corresponding figure for January 1987 was 6,507.
Seasonally adjusted unemployment figures are not available below regional level. Also unemployment rates are not calculated for areas smaller than travel-to-work areas.
