dell12 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I see unemployment has fallen (be it ever so slightly) by 9000 and those claiming Job Seekers Allowance is also down. I have to admit I am surprised, but surely isn't this a sign that perhaps massive cuts and VAT increases are not needed? While the numbers returning to work are tiny, it's 9000 more people paying tax and 3700 less people claiming benefits. Every little counts! Look no further than Ireland for an example of cuts.

Just what i wanted to say. Wait about 3 months and the unemployment will raise, since the retailing season will end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on a place with Remploy/A4E/Best are still claiming JSA so the JSA figures are not being manipulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
