The percentage increase for the entire state in private employment placements was AT. No percent age figures were given out here shortly after the first of the month by manager Thomas I. Shea in his monthly report, but it was noted that the Waterbury office had an increase of 65 private placements over February.
 Also in line with the state trend, which showed an increase of 9 per cent in regard to the number of jobless who registered during the month of March, is the report of the local office that there were 543 new registrations for March as compared to 404 in February.
 The March report for the entire state showed that Connecticut was higher than all but nine states in regard to placements. Of the 2,721 placed in the state, 159 were war veterans. In the state this was an increase of 152.4%o over the month of February.
