SURVEY OF EMPLOYMENT AND VACANCIES IN NON-INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
The Labour Department is now conducting a survey of employment and
vacancies in certain trades in the private non-industrial sector.
These include import and export businesses, hotels and restaurants,
banks and money changers, insurance, air and ocean transport and related services, education services, medical and health services, and theatres and
cinemas.
Earlier this month, printed employment return cards were sent to
managements of all known establishments in these trades and services requesting
them to provide the information sought as on November 30, 1972.
A department spokesman said completed cards should be returned to the
Labour Department on or before December 4, 1972.
He said it is hoped that all recipients would fill in the cards fully
and accurately and return them promptly in the reply-paid envelopes provided.
During the last survey, he said, the extent of cooperation from
managements was most encouraging.
The information provided on the cards will be kept strictly confidential
and will only be used for the preparation of statistical tables from which
individual establishments cannot be identified, he said.
The cards will be destroyed under supervision when all the relevant
information is extracted and summarized, he added.
