At the end of the month it was estimated that there were 700 Jews without employment, most of whom claim to belong to the building trades. About half of this number stated that they had lost their employment in consequence of the recent disturbances.
The total number of Arabs unemployed at the end of October was estimated to be 1,600, of whom more than one-third belonged to the building trades. In October, 1928, the figures were 1,400 and 2,500, for Jewish and non-Jewish unemployed respectively.'
