LABOURíS WORKING TO MAKE READING A
BETTER PLACE TO LIVE. The hard work
In spite of the fact that the UK suffered through its worst recession since the 1930s, unemployment remained unchanged last quarter. Of course, we are actively searching for a silver lining here, so forgive us if our analysis is a bit tentative. Still, we can say with confidence that unemployment has finally stabilised.
According to the most recent reports, the unemployment rate now stands at 7.8 percent. That is the same number as last quarter, even though more than 12,000 UK residents secured employment in that time. What does this mean? Well, it means that the economy has finally emerged from a deep recession and that more people are getting jobs.
As you might expect, politicians are taking full credit for the recent gains as the economy slowly begins to recover. Not surprisingly they are calling for increased funding to help people get back to work. Though improvements are undeniably industry specific, companies like Express Furniture have experienced impressive gains. It is also important to note that unemployment numbers are much lower than predicted last year, but whether politicians or programmes had anything to do with the improvement remains to be seen. Historically speaking, politicians have had a marginal effect on broader economic numbers. More often than not, the economy improves because individual citizens make the right decisions at the right time. This means cutting back on spending and expenses and protecting jobs at all costs. Of course, government programmes and funding can help get people back to work, but the heavy lifting is almost always done by employers.
