BRITISH UNEMPLOYED
SEASONABLE INCREASE (British Official Wireless.) Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright RUGBY, October 5. The seasonal decline in employment in hotel and boarding house service and in the distributive trades and the building industry, as well as an increase in the number temporarily laid off in coal mining, in full amounting to over 34,000, explains the rise of 10,399 in the total numbers of unemployed last month compared with August. The Ministry of Labour estimates that at September 21 there were approximately 10.966.000 insured persons, aged 16 to 64, in employment in Britain. This is 5.000 more than a month before and 488.000 more than a year before. At the same date the number of registered unemployed totalled 1,624,339, comprising 1,322,934 wholly unemployed, 232,122 temporarily laid off, and 69,283 normally in casual employment. This was 10,399 more than at August 24, but 334,271 fewer than at September 23, 1936.
