'Peace of mind' for UK jobseekers

The Telegraph - David Cameron

The Telegraph

It's without any doubt that the last few years of economic hardship have been brutal for job-seekers but at last, there is some promising news. Unemployment rates are the lowest they've been since the recession; 7.1.

According to The Office for National Stastisics, between September and November, the number of unemployed people in the UK fell by 167, 000 to 2.32M. Moreover, according to The Telegraph's article, "The number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance in December fell by 24,000 to 1.25 million, the lowest figure for almost five years." and "The so-called claimant count has now fallen for 14 months in a row."

This all looks to be very positive news, however comments on said article show a mixed opinion, with members of the public arguing: "Unemployment figures are down to 7.1 percent. It's explained by all the Work Programme returners going back to the Jobcentre, being placed on complusory basic English & Math schemes. They're still on the dole but not officially on the books." What should we really make of these figures? Read the article and join in the debate.
