Labour Market Report #24
We have just published the latest edition of our Labour Market Report. In this month’s Report we look at the highest unemployment rate since 1995; 2011 – the year when private sector jobs growth failed to keep up with public sector job losses; lower finance sector bonuses and low growth rate for public sector pay pulling down overall average. We report on the employment figures mirage – an essentially flat overall figure disguises large movements in part-time and full-time jobs: the number of full-time jobs was down 50,000 from the previous quarter.
