4. The weekly average of persons unemployed in the whole area
during 1964:-
711 men and 132 women
These figures include approximately:-
110 disabled men and 17 disabled women.
NOTE: The figures for insured persons are based partly on the number
of N.I. books 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 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.
