A number of able women find employment in the Civil Service. They are
required to pass a Civil Service examination. College graduates hold
positions in the higher grades, while many women clerks are employed as
stenographers and in minor positions. The statistical office, forestry,
trade and commerce and the labour department, all need expert assistants.
