Unemployment falls to 4.2%. The lowest since 1975. Is this because of Brexit, or despite Brexit? Unemployment rate falls to 4.2%, lowest since 1975 Employment rate highest since records began in 1971 Public sector pay up 2.5% Private sector pay up 2.3% ONS Statistics |

The con that is zero hours contracts has a little to do with it. You are off the records even when you are getting no hours from your slave master/employer.

I worked on a Zero Hours Contract for ten years, and I was more than happy to do so. I agree there may be some employers abusing the system, but in many ways it is the result of the Minimum Wage. Unintended consequences and all that. |

The criteria changes , a while back certain benefits were no longer included in employment figures ,so imo are purposely skewed to fit into whatever bandwagon government(any party) are riding

Unemployment rate falls to 4.2%, lowest since 1975 Employment rate highest since records began in 1971 Public sector pay up 2.5% Private sector pay up 2.3% ONS StatisticsNot quite showing the full story there, yes public and private pay has gone up but it is still below the inflation rates rises meaning the wage squeeze that has left a lot of people worse off continues. Also you'd expect employment to be at record levels with the burgeoning population growth. We will start to see the full effects of Brexit after we formally exit the EU on March 29th 2019 which will inevitably lead to more job losses. Britain is recovering from the shockwave of the referendum but I think the worst is yet to come. |

Britain is recovering from the shockwave of the referendum but I think the worst is yet to come.But everybody, from the Government, the CBI, the IMF, all major Banks and Businesses all said that the economy would crash starting from the next day of a 'Leave' vote! If those figures published above are the result of a crash, then bring on the good times eh ! |
