MEN FINDING WORK.
Fewer Unemployed on Causeway Job. The Unemployment Board’s building subsidy scheme has been mainly responsible for the re-absorption into trades of men who were employed on the causeway formation work on the Sumner Road. The number 6f mexi on the causeway job on December 20 of last year was 186. To-day the number was 102, a decrease of 84 in about a fortnight. Some of the men have gone harvesting, but the majority have been absorbed by contractors on city jobs under the subsidy scheme. For some time there has been a definite tendency for unemployment to be reduced. On the causeway job the men are being absorbed into ordinal employment more quickly than they are being replaced by the Labour Department. The formation of the causeway will entail another twelve months’ work for 100 men.
