The skating party at Lucknow Arena, is scheduled Wednesday of this week. of workers. It represents almost half the total number employed in manu­ facturing industries in 1938. In 1932, at the bottom of the de­ pression, 1,796,000 wage earners were in employment. Recall for a moment the previous figure* given of 2,867,000, the number in employment in October of this year, This represents a net in­ crease of 1,071,000 more workers em­ ployed in Canada in October 1940 in comparison with .October 1932, No one can measure what this means in human happiness, health and content­ ment of mind. It is possible to indi­ cate what it means in productive cap­ acity. It. represents, at least, an in­ crease of $2 billion in the National Income, These are astounding figures — they command attention — they measure progress and record the mea­ surement. , - Of course there is nothing like this number employed in the production of arms and equipment. At the end of the year there were approximately 150,000 directly employed in these ac­ tivities. Back of this must be those en­ gaged in the secondary industries. Those who provide the household ne­ cessities of those employed in war work. Others are employed in trans­ portation and in the ever widening cir­ cle of employment which results from putting men to work in the production, of any product and continuing them month after month, working at the highest point of their efficiency. In 1940 the increase in the 'total number employed was greater than in any other year in Canadian history. By the end of this year, the total num- ber employed in munitions work will probably be increased by at least 50%. The increase in total employment will be greater than that which has taken place in 1940 and will again surpass the record of any previous year in Canadian history. These things are the measure of war. The concrete proof of what has actually been accomplished in the ex­ pansion of the production of war re­ quirements; coupled with iit of course, the additional expansion of industry, which is the indirect result of the de­ velopment of our war effort. In 1940 this has been accomplished at a time when the whole standard of living in Canada has been raised. The Canad­ ian people have worked harder, pro­ duced more, and have enjoyed a high­ er standard of living in 1940 than in any previous year of their history. They have not yet felt the pinch of war. B.ut war demands are growing. In the end the situation will call for a reduction in normal consumptive de­ mands in order to supply the ever-in­ creasing requirements of war. END SPECIALS LOCAL AND PERSONAL the for HOW EMPLOYMENT IS EXPANDING More Employed Than In Peak Year of 1929 The process of expansion in Canada is rapid, no matter whether times are good, bad or indifferent. There are, of course, temporary ed­ dies in which we move backward but these are only temporary. The nation soon reasserts its former movement— expansion continues. 1929 was a peak year in Canada. According to 'the Bureau of Statistics, the total number of wage earners was 2,646,000. The estimated number em­ ployed was 2,556,000 — 90,000 were unemployed. The figures are for the month of October. In 1940 (figures for October, the latest available) there were 2,986,000 wage earners — an increase of 340,000. The number of wage earners employed was 2,867,000 — an increase of 311,- 000, while 119,000 is given as the total number of ■unemployed — up 29,000 from the 1929 level. In 1932 the total number of unem­ ployed wks approximately 700,000. The number now is only 119,000, Ex­ perts told us that, as a result of the depression, there would always remain a substantial number of unemploy­ ables. They would be astonished now to see how quickly, under the impact of war, these are being reabsorbed in­ to the economic life of the nation. But the astonishing thing is that the total number employed — and this their gleaming silver and crystal, the figure is exclusive of enlisted men — candles, flowers and place cards car- should stand at 811,000 above the level tied out the idea of M Valentine’s day of 1929. 311,OpO is a substantial army should stand at 811,000 above the level Mr. J.
