Employment Conditions burtirg-September there was a constant demand for workers throughout the area served by the Canada Man- power Centres in Oshawa and Ajax. Files of unemployed workers registered droppedto 2,374 females and 1,350 males, the lowest they have been since July, 1971. Placements during the month totalled 650. Many employers experienced great difficulties in locating suitable workers, especially in the skilled occupations. Manufacturers are current- ly seeking workers with skills or experience in welding machining, fibre glass lamin- ating, production lathe opera- tion, injection mould machine operation and machine tend- ing. Unskilled workers are also being sought and hired by many employers. In construction there have been shortages of bricklayers, electricians, plasterers and carpenters. Experienced lab- orers were also required for non-union jobs. These shortag- es are expected to continue with the only solution expect- ed to come from seasonal layoffs in some sectors of the same industry. At present housing starts are continuing at a rapid pace. To help with future demands a construction trades helper course is plan- ned for next year to train workers for successful entry to employment in construction. Transportation saw the re- turn of non-operating railway workers thus relieving many problems influencing other employers and workers. Cur- rent demands for dump truck drivers and tractor trailer drivers have depleted the supply and left some vacan- cies unfilled. Agricultural demands on the labor market have been difficult to meet as fully qualified workers are scarce. Wages for general harvest hands have risen above the minimum wage in order to attract workers. Demands for service work- ers remain at a high volume. Wages and working conditions are usually less favorable than those available in other occupations and many jobs remain unfilled. Although retailers are ex- periencing high sales there is a lower demand for workers than in other industries. Clerical workers with exper- ience and office skills have met a ready demand. On the other hand there is a large surplus of would-be office workers who are lacking in skiils, experience or education. The demands for workers in the administration, profes- sional and technical categor- ies have been much lighter than in other occupations. Although draftsmen and sur- vey crew members have been sought there is a surplus of workers such as nurses, registered nursing.assistants, teachers and accountants. TYRONE The Tyrone U.C.W. resumed regular meetings on Sept. 12th with Mrs. Jim Woodley presid- ing. Mrs. Art Richards and Mrs. Clinton Bigelow present- ed an appropriate meditation. Mrs. J. C.
