WORK IN ENGLAND
Unemployment Situation There. Press Association —Copyright. Rugby, Dee. 7. The Minister of Labour estimates that at November 20 the number of insured persons aged 17 to 61 in employment in Britain, exclusive of agricultural workers, was approximately 1,112,602, comprising 1,367,492 wholly' unemployed and 188.643 temporarily laid off. The total was 11,792 more than at October 26 bift 294,960 less than a year before. Of the increase of 11,792 over the previous month agricultural workers accounted for approximately 9000, and part of the increase may therefore be attributed to the operation of the Act under which the benefit became payable from November 5, 1936, to workers insured under the Agricultural Occupations Act. The most marked changes last month were in the building industry, where unemployment increased by 18,488, and coal mining, in which I here were 15.103 fewer unemployed —both seasonal movements.
