SHORTAGE OF TYPISTS
GOOD WAGES OFFERED IN WELLINGTON
(From Our Parliamentary Reporter.) _ WELLINGTON, October 3. Up to £6 10s and £7 a week are being paid for moderately skilful typists in Wellington offices this year. The National Employment Service has more than 200 vacancies for girls, and in the last three months only 21 placements have been made. The position is so bad now that commercial colleges have waiting lists of would-be employers who make offers of jobs to girls who have only started taking lessons. The present shortage is said to be a result of the war. which took many girls, mainly‘through manpower direction, from office jobs to’ other work.
The Public Service is amongst the employers sadly in need of typists, and scores of girls could be placed at once in State departments in Wellington.
