New York, Nov. 23.
Reporting the results of its survey, the National Industrial Conference Board said today that the survey had exploded the myth that women workers are keeping many men in the ranks of the unemployed.
Facts have been misinterpreted to indicate that'if woman stopped working, men would no longer be unemployed, the report said.
Actually the percentage of male workers out of the total population has been approximately the same since 1870. The increased number of women workers has been merely an increase in the nation's total labour force, it added.
The Board reported that 729,000 workers were re-employed in during September, with industry absorbing 479,000 of the workers.—United Press.
