UNEMPLOYMENT.
The following information has been received from the Manager
of the Local Employment Exchange.
"The hard winter led to an increase of unemployment especially
among building and kindred workers.
The position righted itself during the Summer. There is still
a large unsatisfied demand for women in factories and for young
nurses in hospitals. Generally speaking unemployment among able
bodied men is of short duration."
