47,000 Re-Employed In A Month,
MOST INDUSTRIES SHOW IMPROVEMENT
London, To-day,
A further decline in the num- |ber of persons unemployed and an increase in the number in em- ployment are disclosed in the latest Ministry of Labour re- tura.
It states that at May 14, there were approximately 10,187,000 - insured persons, aged from 16 to 64, in employment in Great Bri- tain.
This was 47,000 more than at April 23, and 57.000 more than at May 22, 1933,
The improvement during thei month affected-most of the prin- Re-cipal industries, except the coal mining industry, where a decline was due mainly to temporary stop- pages at a number of collieries in Yorkshire, and the wool and tax- tile industry.
