Data on casuals, temporarily stopped, etc in 1928.

Approx. number of rows:

742

Table type:

Raw Data

Documentation Author:

Humphrey Southall

Geography:

Reporting units are identified by:
   Unspecified Division
   Unspecified Place

Chronology:

The data are for the single year 1928.

Sources:

1. The data were transcribed from manuscript returns at the Public Record Office, class LAB.85 (EDS.2 series), providing information on registered unemployment at labour exchanges for 30th January 1928.

---

Notes:

1. The data are for labour exchanges and towns corresponding to those in the published Local Unemployment Index. Returns from Juvenile Bureaux were not recorded.
2. The number wholly unemployed ('wu_t') includes the number of casuals ('casual'), hence the total on the live register is wu_t+temp_t.
3. Certain large cities (Sheffield, Liverpool and Glasgow) contained a number of exchanges but are included as a single total in the table. For Glasgow, figures for individual exchanges are also included here as 'sub-exchanges'. NB this was not an official title.

Acknowledgments:

We are extremely grateful to the following:

1. David Gilbert: All the transcription work at the Public Record Office was undertaken by David Gilbert after he had moved to Royal Holloway, and he is also the source of the information in these notes.
