registered a slight increase in June 1986 over June 1985,
reversing its declining trend (on a year-on-year comparison) since March 1985 (paragraph 4.6). Employment in the services
sectors also increased over this period (paragraph 4.8), while employment on building and construction sites remained stable (paragraph 4.7).

Construction wage rates also showed some increase in real
terms (paragraph 4.12).
