OUT OF PROPORTION
TOO FEW PRODUCERS TO OTHER NUMBERS By Telegraph—Copyright —Press Assn. SYDNEY, August 24. A paper on population factors as affecting unemployment, read at the Science Congress, revealed that only 57 per cent, of Australia's bread-winners were engaged in actual production. Commerce and transport absorbed 24 per cent, and professional and domestic occupations about IS per cent. The high proportion in commerce and transport necessarily contributed to the high costs which handicapped Australian production. The paper was prepared by Mr F. Exley. He calculated that for every hundred producers in New Zealand there were 83 non-producers. The position in both countries, he contended, was unhealthy and inimical to progress.
