JOBS FOUND FOR 21 HANDICAPPED PEOPLE IN JUNE
A total of 21 handicapped poople were placed in jobs by the Social
Welfare Department in June. This was six fewer than in the previous month.
Mr. Chan Shui-wing, officer-in-charge of the Job Placement Unit,
attributed the drop to employers taking on summer student workers in jobs
which could otherwise have been given to some of the handicapped.
Those placed in employment were engaged in open industry in jobs
as machine sewing workers, assemblers, packers, labourers and general workers.
