THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION WAS AS FOLLOWS:-

93,524 PERSONS ON HONG KONG ISLAND, 411,294 IN KOWLOON, AND

121,574 IN THE NEW TERRITORIES.

THESE EMPLOYMENT FIGURES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE ALREADY

PUBLISHED AND BASED ON INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKINGS REGISTERED OR

RECORDED WITH THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT. THIS IS BECAUSE SUCH UNDER-

TAKINGS, BY THEIR LEGAL DEFINITION UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE

FACTORIES AND INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKINGS ORDINANCE, ARE FOUND IN

SECTORS OTHER THAN THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR. WITHIN THE MANŲ–

FACTURING SECTOR ITSELF, ONLY THOSE REGISTERED OR RECORDED

ALTHOUGH THE GREAT MAJORITY ARE INCLUDED.

-

EACH SET OF FIGURES HAS ITS OWN USES AND BOTH WILL CONTINUE

TO BE MADE PUBLIC, A CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT
