BRITISH INDUSTRIES.
RUGBY. February 11. It is estimated that at January 28, 1935, there were 10,053,000 insured persons in employment in Great Britain. This was 195.000 fewer than at December 17, and 175,000 more than at January 22, 1934. The decline in employment was most marked in those industries which ordinarily experience a seasonal setback in January. At January 28, 1935, the numbers of unemployed persons on the registers at employment exchanges in Great Britain were 1.882,034 wholly unemployed. 353,994 temporarily stopped, and 89,345 normally in casual employment, making a total of 2,325,375. This total is 239,558 more than the number on the registers at December 17, 1934, and 63,695 fewer than a year before.
