I am circulating below an analysis of the 27,500 jobs in prospect classified by employment exchange areas or groups of areas.I have broken down the figure in this way and not by constituencies because the employment exchange area is the administrative unit on which our development districts are based. These exchange areas have been drawn to correspond as far as possible with the local pattern of travel-to-work, so that it may reasonably be inferred that projects will draw most of their labour from the area in which they are sited. But constituency boundaries in many cases cut right across employment exchange boundaries and travel-to-work areas. We have, therefore, often no material for forming a reliable judgment as to the proportion of the labour required for a given project which is likely to be drawn from a given constituency.The jobs in prospect for an area are the aggregate of the estimates of their labour requirements provided by the firms who have been granted I.D.Cs. or been offered assistance under the Local Employment Act. Jobs which have actually accrued and projects known to have been abandoned have, of course, been deducted. The figures may be exaggerated in that firms tend to overstate the labour they will take on.

the other hand, they are incomplete in that they take no account either of jobs becoming available outside manufacturing industry or of industrial expansions not requiring any sizeable new building. In these types of case no I.D.C. is needed and so the Board have no information as to the jobs which they will provide.
The jobs, which will arise in a wide variety of different industries, are about two-thirds for males and one-third for females.
