Following tbg.'s Jeff Brookers article yesterday about inflation & unemployment falling stating that Britain is on the right track, figures released today show unemployment fell again by 65,000 to 2.58m in the three months to May. And the number of people claiming Jobseekers’ Allowance increased by 6,100 according to the Office for National Statistics.
Other figures showed there were 9.21 million economically inactive people aged from 16 to 64, that is down 61,000 on the quarter.
These are encouraging figures for the Government who seemed to have weathered the storm of the 'double-dip' recession and coming out the other side - not quite smelling of roses just yet. Though, their fate and ours may not be something that's in our own hands.
