    Strange Ross - an awful lot of immigrants get jobs...

    Anyway - I note the care with which you posted. Lets have the rest of the employment news shall we and get the bigger picture from the Office of National Statistics just published....

    Figures compared to last quarter incidentally - not annual.

    Those in work has increased by 15,500 (to 71.7%)
    Unemployment down 0.1% to 7.7% - that is 18,000 fewer
    Economic inactivity rate down by 83,000
    Youth unemployment down by 7,000 (when those in full time education are rightly stripped out, about level if not)
    Long term unemployed down by 15,000.

    All in 3 months.

    If the government had been more bold with deeper faster public spending cuts, tax cuts and supply-side reform we would be seeing even better figures.
