CBI REACTS TO LATEST UNEMPLOYMENT DATA
The CBI yesterday commented on the latest unemployment figures, showing a fall to 2.43 million in the last three months.
Commenting on yesterday’s data, Neil Carberry, CBI Director for Employment, said:
"It is good news that unemployment figures have fallen, with the private sector creating jobs. We hope this will continue in the coming months, but we still have a serious problem with long-term unemployment and inactivity. We need to tackle the structural causes of unemployment to get the UK working."
Earlier this week, the CBI launched a new project to explore ways of getting all the UK working by tackling long-term unemployment and inactivity. Further details can be found at: http://employment.cbi.org.uk/reports/mapping-the-route-to-growth-rebalancing-employment
