Note -"The figures of insured persons are based partly on the number
of N.I. cards exchanged during the June to September quarter and
partly on returns rendered by certain employers showing the number
of N.I. cards they hold. Caution should be exercised in comparing
the number of persons unemployed with the insured persons, as an
unemployed person need not necessarily register at an Employment
Exchange in the area where his N. I. card is exchanged. Normally an
employed person's N.I. card would be counted in the area in which he
works, while if he became unemployed he would be likely to register
at the Employment Exchange in the area in which he lives."
