Increase In Jobs Lagging : Behind Larger Labor Force

By BEN WARD OTTAWA (CP)—For the first time in. more than three years uhemployment in Canada has risen in a year-to-year compari-~ son. Strangely. enough, the sta- tisticians -say it’s partly a re- sult of the continuing boom if employment.

The jobless total for August, was 228,000 or 2.9 per cent in a record labor force of 7,805,000. It was down from 244,000 in July but above the 211,000 in

August of last year. | Not since May of 1963 has a - monthly ' unemployment - figure - been higher than the year-ear- lier level.

The report, prepared jointly by the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics and the immigration de- partment’s manpower section, said the strong surge of non- farm employment that has been so noticeable this summer con- tinued unabated.

Between July and August, a

farm employment’ jumped by 40,000 to 6,928,000. .In the year- to-year comparison,’ the jump was 383,000 or a whopping 5.9 per cent.

FARM JOBS DROP

The gains were partly offset

by a continued decline in farm jobs—down 6,000 in the month and -85,000 on the year to 649,- 000.

Meanwhile, the labor force

grew by 18,000 in the month and $15,000 on the year.

What does it all mean Employment demand is “very

strong;”’ a DBS official stressed. It was attracting people into the labor market who would not normally consider eligible. Many were inevitably ending up among the jobless.

This was particularly notice-

able among women. Their num- ber in the labor force jumped by 165,000 during the year to 2,262,000. But the number of un- employed women also grew, by

In the same period, unemploy- ment among married men dropped by 6,000 to 72,000.

The official said another in- dication of this trend was the fact that the year-to-year jump in unemployment showed up mainly in the big job-producing industrial areas of Ontario and British Columbie

May Be Kept From France

LONDON:-(AP)—United: States and British authorities have pon- dered moves to bar France

ning secrets of the North—Atlan- tic Treaty Organization. _

In reporting this, diplomats said the two countries also are considering urgent action for the transfer of NATO's political headquarters from~ Paris -to Brussels. They favor holding the year-end session of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels rather than‘in Paris.
