SEASONAL INCREASE SEPTEMBER FI CURES (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9.30 a.m. RUGBY, Oct. 5. The seasonal decline in employment in hotel and hoarding-house service, and in the distributive trades and building industry, as well as an increase in the number temporarily laid off in coalmining, in full amounting to over 34,000, explains a rise of 10,399 in the total numbers of unemployed last month, compared with August.

At the same date, the number of registered unemployed totalled 1,624,339, consisting of 1,322,934 wholly unemployed, 232,122 temporarily laid off, and 69,283 normally in casual employment. This was 10,399 more than at August 24, but 334,271 less than at September 23, 1936.
