CALL FOR EARLY RETURN OF EMPLOYMENT SURVEY CARDS
*****
THE CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT TODAY URGED THE MANAGEMENT OF SOME 8,600 MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS, WHICH HAVE NOT YET FURNISHED THEIR EMPLOYMENT RETURNS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF THIS YEAR, TO DO SO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT SAID REMINDERS HAVE BEEN SENT TO THESE ESTABLISHMENTS AND NOTED THAT PROMPT RETURN OF THE COMPLETED EMPLOYMENT ENQUIRY CARDS WOULD FACILITATE THE EARLY RELEASE OF SURVEY RESULTS.
ENQUIRY CARDS WERE FIRST MAILED TO INDIVIDUAL MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS ON MARCH 23. MANAGEMENTS WERE REQUESTED TO COMPLETE THE CARDS WITH THE NUMBER OF PERSONS ENGAGED AND EXISTING VACANCIES AS AT MARCH 15, AND TO RETURN THEM TO THE CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT BY THE END OF MARCH.
THE FULL SCALE MANUFACTURING EMPLOYMENT SURVEY NOW IN PROGRESS COVERS SOME 14,000 MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS. INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE SURVEY WILL PROVIDE
ESSENTIAL DATA FOR THE ANALYSIS OF EMPLOYMENT LEVELS AND TRENDS.
AT THE SAME TIME, ENQUIRIES. ARE ALSO BEING MADE ABOUT EMPLOYMENT AND VACANCIES IN THE IMPORT/EXPORT, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADES, RESTAURANTS, HOTELS, BANKS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, AND OTHER SELECTED TRADES AND SERVICES.
THE COMMISSIONER FOR CENSUS AND STATISTICS APPEALED TO ALL SUCH ESTABLISHMENTS FOR CO-OPERATION IN THE EMPLOYMENT SURVEY.
HE STRESSED THAT INFORMATION FURNISHED BY INDIVIDUAL ESTABLISHMENTS WOULD BE TREATED IN STRICT CONFIDENCE AND WOULD BE USED SOLELY FOR COMPILING STATISTICAL TABLES.
