The jobless rate in September was 2.8 per cent of the labor force, compared to an even three per cent in August and 2.7 per cent in September of last year. Some economists consider three per cent virtually a full employment situation. However, after adjustment to discount season variations, tha rate was 41 per cent, Pane unchanged from August. Last year's September rate adjusted to 3.9 per cent. The employment picture in brief, estimates in thousands: Sept. Aug. Sept. 1967 1967 1966 7,730 8,101 7,516 Employed 7,511 7,854 7,311 Unemployed 219 247 205 BASED ON SURVEY These estimates are based on a sample survey of 35,000 households in the week ended Sept. 16. The joint report said employ- ment of persons in the 14 to 24 age bracket dropped by 402,000 Labor force in the month as high school and university students headed back to classes. The number of job- holders 25 and over increased by 59,000. The labor force was up 214,- 000 or 2.8 per cent from Sep- tember last year, employment rose by 200,000 or 2.7 per cent and unemployment 14,000 or about 5.5 per cent. Most of the year-to-year job increase was in the service industries. Manufacturing employment dropped _ slightly and construction employment showed no change. Farm jobs rose to 635,000 from 603,000. Of the 219,000 unemployed, 162,000 had been out of work for less than four months. Another 29,000 had been job-hunting for four to six months and 28,000 for seven months or more. The estimate of unemployed does not include students and housewives who have not sought outside work, persons too old or otherwise unable to work, and the voluntarily idle or retired. Regional unemployment rates continued their wide variation. The Prairie Provinces had 1.6 per cent of their workers unem- ployed, up from 1.4 in August and 1.3 in September last year. Quebec's jobless rate rose to 3.8 per cent from 3.7 in August and 3.5 a year earlier, buried in an earthen dam Aug. 4, 1964, after 44 days of inten- sive searching, Additional testimony fs expected from James Edward Jordan who was whisked into the courthouse Wednesday sur- rounded by armed guards. Jor- dan is under indictment in the case, but jurisdiction has been transferred to a federal court district in Georgia.
