Unemployed Statistics Published

GENEVA, Switzerland, Doc. 24.- Statistics issued today by thc ‘inter- national labor oﬂlcc showed 7,196,638 unemployed in 32 countries between June and October, 1930, compared to 4,872,517 in the same countries dur- ing thc corresponding period last year. Iioivcver, thc bureau estimates a vastly greater number of Jobless, because sonic countries gave figures only on realstered employed 0r unemployed trade unionists. More ovor, in some cases the figures were only up to June, after which the un- employment increased.

The total does not include 381,916 in Japan and 4,729 in Norway. b6- cnuse comparative figures for 1929 were not available. Several million unemployed in the United States also were not included. Tho bureau esti- mated that 70.7 per cont oi Ameri- can workers were employed in Sep- tember, 1930, compared to 99.3 per
