Vague_Boy Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yep, started going up again despite all their efforts to massage the figs down Record number in work in UK, claimant count plunges The number of people in work in Britain hit an all-time high late last year, highlighting the continued resilience of the labour market in the face of a stagnant economy. The number of people in work rose to 29.730 million in the three months to December, the highest since records began in 1971, the Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday. Unemployment benefit claims also fell much more than expected in January. LINK [Reuters Wed Feb 20, 2013] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmaximus Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Most of the new jobs are just part-time low paid service sector jobs. I guess the growth in shelf-stackers has finally petered out. Looks like this government is doing better than the last lot. Trends in part-time and temporary work - July 2010 The number of people in part-time and temporary jobs because they are unable to find full-time or permanent work has increased sharply since 2008. Since the recession began there has been a 40% increase in temporary workers unable to find permanent work. The number of people working part-time because they cannot find full-time work is at the highest level on record with a 45% increase since the recession began. 12 December 2012 UK unemployment falls by 82,000, says ONS The number of people out of work fell by 82,000 between August and October, to 2.51 million, official figures have shown. It was the biggest quarterly fall in unemployment since 2001. Employment rose 40,000 to 29.6 million, which was the highest figure since records began in 1971. number in full-time employment rose 44,000 number in part-time employment fell 4,000 unemployed 16-to-24-year-olds fell 90,000 to 626,000, excluding people in full-time education Youth unemployment statistics Youth unemployment started to rise in 2000 and didn't go down untill 2011.

Surely this is easily explained by us all having to work longer these days. I can no longer retire at 65, so that would mean one more person in employment and given around 120000 people retire each year then there's more older people in work and fewer younger ones. I can't forgive this government for making me work these extra years!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
