In February, 1965, the number on the roll was 54,913, an increase of 867 on the 54,046 in February, 1964. This figure had fallen to 54,698 by February, 1966. Although this is 215 less than in the beginning of 1965 it was still 652 more than at the beginning of 1964. The town is still attracting workers and once again, unemployment is virtually non¬ existent. At the beginning of the year there were 992 vacant jobs for men and women with only 232 unemployed. The Slough and District figures for unemployment was 0.4 per cent on the insured working population. Another 344 houses were occupied. The number of overseas immigrants was reduced mainly because of the effect of The Commonwealth Immigrants Act, 1964.
