Manufacturing, particula- rly machinery manufactu- ring, led the demand for workers during July with some demand for skilled and semi-skilled workers. The bulk of the demand, how- ever, has been for students to fill in for vacationing plant workers. The bustling constructjon industry accounted for the second highest demand dur- ing the month. While the largest demand was for experienced construction workers, many vacancies were listed for heavy truck drivers and heavy operators for the industry. Shortages of skilled workers such as bricklayers and carpenters still existed. during the month with the same short- ages existing across Ontario. The primary cause of this increased demand for con- struction workers has been mainly attributed to the increase in residentail build- ing permits and new sub- divisions in the area. Demand remained strong during July in the personal service industry as many * mothers sought housekeep- ers and baby-sitters for their vacationing children. Much of the demand was met by students, however. many positions have been out- standing for permanent live- in housekeepers.

Many high school students have been able to find summer jobs in sales posi- tions. Summer jobs for students have been up considerably this year with student place- ments through the Canada Manpower Centre for stu- dnts approaching 1,000. Suc- cess of this program has been attributed to a hard working and enthusiastic téam of student counsellors slightly and an excellent response by the press and radio to encourage householders to hire a student. At the end of the month of July, a total of 3,454 male workers and 3,030 female workers were registered as being without employment at the Oshawa and Ajax Manpower Offices.
