UK Unemployment Figures

Today's UK unemployment figures show another drop in the number of people out of work.  In the quarter until the end of March, the number fell 36,000 to 2.46 million. The number of young people aged between 16 and 24 also dropped 30,000 to 935,000.
Commenting on this second consecutive drop in the total, Gillian Econopouly, the REC's Head of Policy, said:
"Though this continuing trend is welcome, we cannot lose sight of the fact that the jobs market remains volatile. Our latest Report on Jobs shows that while hiring activity in certain sectors is steadily increasing, there is still concern over the effects of public sector cuts and the creation of a two speed jobs market."
