UNEMPLOYMENT.
FARM HANDS SCARCE,
Unemployment conditions at Palmerston are rapidly improving. Both Feilding and Longburn freezing works opened at the beginning of the week, a large number of men being absorbed, and more are just waiting to be taken on. Farming activities are increasing, but farm hands are scarce. One labour agent stated to-day that the firm could place as many as sixteen, and flaxmills are absorbing a few. Fine weather and the approach of the busy season are heralding an allround improvement in the position. Following are the official registered unemployment figures for the week ended December 1, the figures for the previous week being mentioned in parenthesis:—l6 married men with 55 dependants, (30 married men with 67 dependants); 4 single men (3 single men).
