This, however, it is stated, is a normal pattern in the Oshawa area at this time of the year. A spokesman for the office said Wednesday the increase is caused by large scale layoffs in the automobile manufacturing and si!lied industries, together with the annual shutdown for vacation purposes of oiner local factories, Censtruction activities con- tinued at a moderate pace with little change from the previous month, However, building per- mits issued for the first six months of the year indicated a substantial drop from the cor- responding period last year. The demand for factory work- ers and general laborers re- mained relatively light. How- ever, a substantial number of potential vacancies were listed by area tobacco farmers in an- ticipation of an early harvest. Other orders listed by employ- ers called for skilled tradesmen, service station attendants, cler- ical, and sales personnel, A considerable number of high school students, registered for summer employment, helped to maintain the supply of available applicants, Shortages of qualified appli- cants occurred in the following: insurance salesmen, draughts- men, cooks and chefs, meat cut- ters, upholsterers, electrical ap- pliance repairmen, compositors, tool and die makers, machinists, automobile mechanics and body repairmen, stationary engineers, experienced farm hands, tobac- co primers, tiers and leaf hand- lers, waitresses, housekeepers and nurses. The number of applicants reg- istered for employment on July 31, 1962, was 8,597. This com- pared with 3,062 on June 30, 1962, and. 8,003 on July 31, 1961.
