THERE WAS little change in hard-core unemployment this month according to figures for June out yesterday.
Seasonal employment gave jobs to 68,096 people, but total unemployment remained firmly pegged at 833,473.
June is always the lowest figure of the year. But with seasonal openings closed and redundancies continuing, the jobless total looks certain to top the million again this winter.
lhe June igure was also depressed because of the absence of any large numbers, of people temporarily stopped.
The jobless total for Great Britain alone (excluding Ulster) was 793,896—3.5 per cent.
It included 758,281 wholly unemployed, 8,369 school-leavers and 27,246 temporarily stopped.
In Ulster 37,894 were wholly unemployed, 906 school-leavers and 777 temporarily stopped.
Ulster is still the worst hit area with 7.6 per cent unemployed closely followed by Scotland at 6.1 per cent.
