EMPLOYMENT
BAY OF PLENTY SURVEY OCTOBER RETURNS The District Employment Officer, for the Rotorua-Bay of Plenty Area, Mr J. McGlone, advises that almost all employment returns have now been received and the work entailed in assembling the necessary data is well in hand. Because employers generally were appreciating the need for a Dominion-wide “Balance Sheet of Employment” they had been of great assistance to the Department in supplying the required information.
The information thus assembled, he continued, was already proving of immeasurable assistance in such matters as immigration, decentralisation, vocational guidance, trade training, etc. and industry generally would benefit to a great degree by the up-to-the-minute and reliable information being made available for the first time in New Zealand.
