ONS unemployment commentary from totaljobs

John Salt, Group Sales Director, totaljobs

“As this is the last time that the ONS will release its official jobs figures before the upcoming referendum, the fact that unemployment has fallen will undoubtedly be used by the Remain campaign to argue that we’re better, and more economically stable, in Europe.

Given the instability that the referendum has caused for businesses of all sizes, it’s really encouraging to see that hiring hasn’t stopped. It’s now over to the Government to do all it can, regardless of outcome, to continue to reassure businesses and put in place measures that allow them to keep on recruiting.”
