Social Conditions.
During the year there did not appear to be any marked improvement in the
economic conditions of the populace, the unemployment in July being 10.3 per cent,
of the insured population, which was 114,080. These figures are given by the
Local National Employment Exchange of the Ministry of Health. It is stated,
however, that at the close of the year unemployment had slightly decreased. Two
of the main industries in the Borough, namely, laundries,and wireless components,
have in each case extended their premises and consequently engaged more labour.
