TUC analysis shows that since the start of the recession in 2008 the small rise in employment levels has been driven by a nine per cent rise in the number of self-employed workers. Over the same period, the number of employees has actually fallen by one per cent. The latest data shows a slight improvement in the number of employed workers, however since the start of the recession the number of self-employed workers have increased by 333,000, the number of employees has fallen by 201,000.

The TUC’s latest Labour Market Report is now available online. Whilst there is good news, there is still cause for concern. Youth unemployment is still just under a million. Long term unemployment has continued to increase for those unemployed for over a year; 897,000 people have been unemployed for over one year and 444,000 people have been unemployed for over two years. Over 2 million people remain underemployed as 1.4m people are in part time work because they cannot find full time work, and 649,000 are in temporary work because they cannot find permanent work.
