Cana dians who failed to find jobs in July dropped for the fourth consecutive month to 793000 The June figure was 798000 The national unemployment rate adjusted to take into account normal seasonal varia tions was 72 per cent last month compared with 75 per cent in June Monthly figures released by the govern ment today show the seasonallyadjusted jobless rate the normal measure of the seriousness of unemployment at its lowest level in almost three years The last time the unemployment rate fell below 75 per cent of the labor force was in September 1976 Young people continued to shoulder the largest burden of unemployment last month The rate for men in the 15to24 age bracket was 119 per cent For women in the same age group the rate was 127 per cent The numbers with jobs increased last month to 108 million from 106 million in June Persistent regional problems continue to plague the country Newfoundland tradi tionally the hardestvhit by unemployment had July rate of 144 per cent The province with the lowest rate was Alberta with 36 per cent Monthly figures from Statistics Canada showed 63 per cent of the population is either working or seeking work This is exactly the same as one year earlier The federal agency said there were 131000 students who unsuccessfully sought summer jobs in July This put the unemployment level among students planning to return to school in the fall at 119 per cent The corresponding 1978 monthly figure was 152 per cent Although Canadas unemployment situa tion has been steadily improving this year its rate last month of 72 per cent remained well above the 57percent July unemployment rate reported in the United States Canada and the United States both have considerably larger unemployment rates than most nations of Western Europe which have been reporting about fivepercent unemployment this year Japan has reported about twopercent unemployment However these countries keep their unemployment rates artificially low by giv ing workers long paid vacations during slack periods and by bringing in temporary im migrant labor during peak work periods Last months total of 108 million working Canadians was the laigest ever recorded During the preceding year 367000 new jobs were created The worsening of economic prospects will follow the decline which has already become evident in the economy At this time of
