    It is not all bad news....

    A few facts that are less headline worthy:

    Since May 2010 - the general election

    Numbers actually in work increased by 100,000 from 29m to 29.1m
    At the same time those unemployed did rise (the rise began under the previous government remember...) from 2.46m to 2.67m

    The reason for these apparently contradictory figures is that the 'economically active' population has increased to 31.8m, an increase of 320,000, that breaks down to 110,000 more unemployed and 220,000 more in jobs.

    The increase in the 'economically active' is from more older people working after 65 (about half) and immigrants.

    To summarise, at a time of great economic problems we have been swimming against a tide with the unemployment figures. We must however remember we need more jobs and to grow the economy... I have addressed what measures should be taken in previous blogs and threads.
