The Registrar-General's statistics relating to population and deaths
differ slightly from those compiled from local records. The total figures
in respect of the district as a whole, which are supplied by the RegistrarGeneral,
are set out in this report, but where classification has been
made, e.g., by age groups, sex, wards, etc., it has necessarily been based
on our own records, which may, in the aggregate, show slight discrepancies
compared with the Registrar-General's totals.
UNEMPLOYMENT
The following figures in respect of persons living in Carshalton
registered as unemployed at the Sutton Employment Exchange and the
Carshalton Youth Employment Bureau at the end of 1954 are supplied
through the courtesy of the Exchange Manager and the Youth
Employment Officer:
Men. 96
Women 37
Boys 20
