The Sydney Morning Herald. Frl. April 8, 1977 Rapists less job Third of imder 21 senator claims More than one-third of the registered unemployed in the Sydney metropolitan area in February were under 21, a Labor senator said yesterday. Senator K. W.

Sibraa issued a table, which he said came from Commonwealth Employment Service sources, showing that as much as 58 per cent of those registered for employment in Sydney's outer suburbs were under 2 1 The average over 28 suburban CES offices throughout the metropolitan area was 30.43 per cent. These figures had to be related to the fact that people under 21 normally made up about 12 per cent of the workforce. Senator Sibraa's table gives a breakdown of figures for registered unemployed at 27 suburban CES offices and a CES professional employment office. Liverpool, with 58.51 per cent of registered unemployed under 21, had the highest level of youth unemployment. Living evidence' of Govt policy Senator Sibraa accused the Federal Government of not releasing the full breakdown of unemployment statistics because they were politically damaging.

"To leave school only to be thrown on the scrapheap, and then to be labelled as a 'dole bludger' by an unsympathetic Government, is a soul-destroying experience for many young people," he said. He said that a recent Herald Survey had shown that 52 per cent of Australians believed that the Government did not know what to do to improve economic conditions. "The living evidence against the Government's economic policies is the thousands of people who have been deprived of a job," he said. -A, X) 5rT aV Ja. la wmiii? wimii; i a www OFFICE FEMALES JUNIORS TOTAL UNEMPLOYED ADULTS Mr David Baker, of Glcnbrook, and his children, Simon, 3, and Nicole, 7, cooled off in the humid conditions as they whirled around on the Sizler at the Royal Easier Show yesterday.
