Worth noting that you’re not counted as unemployed if you’re working as little as 1 hour a week, or if you’re on a government training scheme or on Workfare.
Given that many people who work are in poverty it would be more meaningful to track the numbers in poverty.
- crdoconnor 9y agoOfficially the UK hit the lowest level of unemployment in like 25 years. That's bullshit of course. For the reasons you mentioned. Still didn't go up. Still went down.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoThe figures for underemployment are down as well.
