    unemployment down 35k, part time work up 89k, hmmmmm
    The ONS data showed that the number of people having to settle for part-time work because they can't find full-time jobs has risen 89,000 to 1.4 million, its highest level since records began in 1992.

    Have they changed the definition of unemployed again?

    You were mentioned in jest because you only ever post negative topics. Its unimaginable that you could ever post a story with a positive slant.

    Nothing to do with you posting last month's figures. I didn't even know you did, but I assume unemployment was up so you jumped all over it.

    Unemployment down ?
    Well it seems for once here in the North West we're top of the tree. We have the largest rise in the Country.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
