UNEMPLOYMENT IN BRITAIN.
CHILDREN LEAVE SCHOOL. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Cop.vri ght. RUGBY, February 6. The substantial increase in unemployment during January, which is recorded in figures issued by the M inister of Labour, is plainly "attributable to seasonal depression, but other factors have tended to; add to the apparent increase. To the extent of 13,000, the increase is wholly statistical and does not indicate fewer situations available. It is explained by the exceptionally large increase in the number of juveniles leaving school and registering themselves - as applicants for work. In 1919 the birth rate was high and * the children of that year are now industrial recruits. In the normal course these children will get situations during the next month or two.
The return shows that the increase in the number of registered unemployed over the December figure was 164,987.
