There were 1895 positions open
during the month at the Employment
Bureau. compared with some 1,116 for
September, and the number OF per-
sons applying for work totaled SCI.
of which $50 were men and 3S7 wo-
men, compared with but S13 for Sep
tcmber.
approximately so per cent of these
people are residents OF Richmond and
who arc out of employment for vari-
Gus reasons" Mr.. Conway said in
commenting on his report I'm ad-
dition TO those filing formal applica-
lions there were those who merely
dropped in to see what positions they
might find open. but who failed to
file formal application for employ
mcnt. "A record of these kept for n
week shows that ninety-eight per
sons in this class called daily, or a
total Of about 2.5iS for the month"
Further Mr.. Conway said that many
Of these persons had been employed
in the building trades. others being
laid Off temporarily. He classes the
out-of-town applicants for jobs as
men and women employed in the
North and West In the automobile in
dustry or other work who have been
laid off and have drifted to Richmond
seeking work.
There seems to be a bright out
look for the farmer" his report
states. 'ns this bureau is having
more applicants seeking farm work
than has been the case for the past
two years. or course all thcSe ap-
plying for farm work are not dcsir-
able. Many OF them have never
worked on farm before and are in
experienced. but finding 1t difficult TO
secure employment In the cities they
apply for farm work as 4 last resort"
