STATISTICAL

Here are some economic statistics that
yOu can interpret for yourself:
There were 100000 unemployed in
February. which was the highest number
of people out of work since the war;
During the same month, there were
b7.l6s,0O0 persons at work, which was
the highest total employment for the
month Of February on record.
The explanation seems to be in the
greatly increased number of people at
work and seeking work" incidentally,
ef those out Of work, 1.s03,9l6 were
getting jobless benefits at the end of
February.
