This enables! unemployed persons to make! essential purchases and to meet many financial obligations, | which in turn results in greater business stability. EMPLOYERS POSTED | As part of the daily work, our Staff advised employers on many questions of insurance.) The office issued 231 rulings as to whether or not certain em-| ployments were insurable, re- bring back fond recollections to many of those who used them. --Thomas Bouckley Collection Labor Market In District Still Buy By J. J. MAHER Manager Oshawa UIC Office The labor market served by the Oshawa National Employ- ment Office again continued to be a "buyer's market" during 1961 -- that is, labor supply ex- ceeded demand. Within this general picture, however, there were significant variations. While the supply of unskilled labor, of factory and construc- tion workers more than satisfied employers' requirements, tight spots were experienced in the supply of stationary engineers, licensed automobile mechanics and body repairmen, skilled ma- chinists, tool and die makers, experienced tobacco primers, pharmacists and _ registered nurses, SKILLS Employers notified the local office of 6,966 openings during the year. By referring workers availably locally, the office helped to fill 6,084 of these requests. About 2,911 jobs were in the manufacturing industry, a field in which well qualified workers continued to be avail- able. Among other employers who obtained workers locally through the office were building contractors, farmers, service es- tablishments and retail stores. The diversity of occupations for which workers were supplied by the office is, of course, too great for detailed description.

There are now 2,161 em-| ployers with insurable workers in this area. FUND PROTECTED Employers, in common with other contributors to the Unem- ployment Insurance Fund, have a justified interest in seeing that the money from the Fund is paid only to persons entitled) to it. The Oshawa local office,| in, the course of its examina- tion of claimants, disqualfied 3,384 from immediate receipt of benefit for varying periods. A number who had obtained bene- fit through false statements were brought to trial; they and) others who had drawn benefit to which they were not entitled |were required to pay back those |sums. MEET THE STAFF Many of the employers in office participated through ad- vertising, release of informa- tion and stepped-up job-finding activities is credited with creat- ing an appreciable amount of extra business apart from the publicly-subsidized winter work scheme. ADVISING EMPLOYERS Local office personnel made 4,276 employer relations visits. During these visits, employers were able to discuss their labor needs and to obtain advice on availability of skills. At the same time, our local office staff was able to obtain valuable in- formation on the kinds of work- ers employed, hiring policies and working conditions at the establishments that were includ- ed in the visiting schedule. This sort of information is carefully recorded and, when orders are received from the employer, consulted before it is attempted to fill the employer's vacancies.

THEY GAVE HELPING HAND Last year, as in previous years, the local office was for- tunate to have the valuable ad- vice and assistance of several community groups. Among them is the Local Employment Com- mittee, constituted as follows: Chairman, Dr. A. E. O'Neill; Employer representatives, W. Branch, W. D. Burns, A. W. Banfield; Employee representa- tives, C.
