W. Morrish, Area Manager of the Department of Employment and Productivity, for the following note :— “ The estimated insured working population in the Exeter Employment Exchange area in June 1968 was 49,303 (30,426 males, 18,877 females). This showed a small increase over the June 1967 figure of 48,505 (30,137 males, 18,368 females). “ Exeter is primarily an administrative and commercial centre. Some 35,000 people, amounting to about 71% of the estimated insured working population are employed in the Service group of industries, which includes such activities as Public Administration, Education, Hospital Services, Distribution, Transport and Communications, and Commerce. Redevelopment and expansion have given rise to an active Construction Industry accounting for over 4,000 employees, or about 9% of the total. A feature of the economic structure of the Exeter area is that only 16% of the working population is engaged in Manufacture, and although about 8,100 are so employed, an increase of some 300 over the previous year, the proportion is well below the national average of 38% and the South Western Regional average of 31%. 13 c
