Unemployment Believed On Downgrade Now

1 By JOHN LEBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer

OTTAWA (CP)-—Canadian unem- ployment hit a postwar peak in March. it was learned T:esday. but indications are it now is on t.he downgrade.

However. the number of jobless continues higher than at the same time last year.

Government figures to be an- nounced in the next day or two. according to informants. will show that around 570,000 persons were

looking !or work through National Employment Service in late March. '

This is I new high since the Second World War. The previous top was about 559.000 at Feb. 18. Before last winter's employment slump the high was 434.000 in the dull spring of 1050 that preceded an upsurge of work touched off largely by the war in Korea. NOT ABSOLUTE

The government does not regard the NES figures as indicating ab- solute unemployment. noting that many persons register for work with the service while just trans- ferring from one lob to another. However, they afford comparative statistics.

The government's view is that the actual unemployment figure is to be found somewhere between the NES total and considerably-

lower figures issued simuitueousiy by its bureau of statiltlcs. which conducts a monthly questionnaire of 30,000 households. No advance bureau figures were available.

The reported NES figure for late March compares with one of 408.- 000 for roughly the same date at 1953. or some l02.000 more. The February. 1954. total was above that of February. i953, by about 157.000.

The March figures would indicate that:

1. Unemployment continued to go up during the greater part of that month but not at the same rate as the last few months.

2. Re-employment of seasonal workers laid off during the winter just past is picking up. but not as fast as it did in the spring of 1953.

March usually sees the peak of

he Guardian Thursday, April 22.

the winter unemployment season,! and informants said Tuesday the March looking-for-work figures to be issued this week by the govern- ment will represent the top for this winter.

Later but preliminary reports reaching the government. it was said. show that unemployment in the'first week of April is down- slightly from the high figure.

A big pickup in construction is‘ looked for in the next fortnight or . so. By about then, too, the demand lfnr spring labor on the farms ‘should be at its peak.
