Ed Musgrove, employment supervisor with the rNES in Prince George, toTd a Citizen reporter: "As soon as ihe break-up ends, we can expect an acute labour-shortage early in the season." In the meantime 2299 men are registered with the Unemployment Insurance Commission as seeking jobs.

He said the main reason for this is that there has-been a considerable influx of jql>-hunters duving the winter months and especially the past, two weeks.
