The June joblos total1 represented 4.5 per cent of the labour force compared with 5.1 per cent in May. The difference represents largely the number of new applicants for work. The relativeiy sinall drap in unemployment shiows a facter 'wbich politicians wha promise fuil employmnent 0ften forget. Canada's l'abour force is growing ai a steady pace. lt le net enougli merely te Elnd jobs for those oui of work. They mnust aiea be found for ihose comning on the labour market for tic first unme. -Government spokes- mien, naiurally, took this side of the argument during the eloction mrpaign when unemployment figures were quoted by apposition candidates. Althougli unemploymeni - 301,000 in June - stands ai an uncomportably igh level, more Canadians than ever - 6,451,000- are at work today. The governiment's problem le, therefore, ta try te increase en- plovyment in an ever expanding labour market wliilo curtailing un- em.ýployment. Adding ta Uic problrn inl the boom sunier months are the numbers leaving echool and studenis sceking temporary jobs. Theso ah caunt as job applicants ta the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

The figures, of course, are deceptive, sinco those seeoking tomparary jobs shouid net be eounted as applicanie in the strict sense. In addition, some of those3 -who lofti chool ln June will retura iin Sopenhor if ihoy do net get the type cf work they want. One of the difficultieÈ la coping with unempluymoni is that 0Df getting a truc picture of the numrbors genuinely out of work. The Y)BS figures record applicants fer work, although nany, sucli as setudonis ariaIliers seling temporary work, saine marriod womon for ex- ample, are net in fact roally in need cd work. The figures for those drawing unempîcyment insurance do Iiot #ive a true figure either. In May thie average per week was 430;300 cmpared with 33U,000 rogisterod as seeking wark.
