asked the Secretary of State for Employment (1) what is the total number of unemployed male and female persons presently registered in the area covered by the Bournemouth employment office;(2) what is the total number of construction industry workers presently registered as unemployed at the Bournemouth employment office;
(3) what is the total number of job vacancies presently notified to the Bournemouth employment office.
At 12th May, 3,871 people—2,969 males and 902 females—were registered as unemployed in the Bournemouth employment office area. Of these, 309 previously worked in the construction industry.At 6th May, 544 notified unfilled vacancies were held by the Bournemouth employment office and 149 by the careers office. These figures relate only to vacancies notified to the employment office and careers office and are not a measure of total vacancies in the area. Because of possible duplication the two figures should not be added together.
