Unemployment down, Wages up

N I up 15% april

eh - they're all hidden. If you become unemployed they sign you off 'by mistake' or sanction you - taking you off the unemployment register. Some jump from one benefit to another to escape from their so helpful job adviser that never offers you a job but finds ways to stick it to you. the only real place to get a job now is the job agencies. but some of them are at it too.

I agree zorrostrikes, people are being forced off benefit. Because they cannot hope with the conditions for JSA
they are unjust and excessive.

I know people who have no income at all, or others have to survive on ridiculously low incomes,
A lot of these so called jobs are just hourly contract jobs, and very poor wages.

Where I am there no jobs, all the jobs that used to be there in 2008 have disappeared.
I have never known things relatively as bad as they are now, in my lifetime.
(I accept our standard of living has risen)

Income Tax and NI Calculator (For 14/15 15/16 and 16/17)

Assumptions:
All figures rounded to the nearest pound.
All income is taxed as non-savings income (different rates apply to investment income)
All tables, except those for pensioners, assume that all individuals are paying National Insurance contributions
Transferable marriage allowance has been ignored
National Insurance is not contracted out contributions
Income for couples is split in the ratio 2:1
Child benefit has been included where appropriate
All children over one year old
Working tax credits and child tax credits have not been included (due to the forthcoming introduction of universal credit)
Winter fuel and council tax assistance payments also excluded
Unknown rates, thresholds and allowances for 2015/16 estimated based on CPI and RPI forecasts published by HM Treasury

I thought job seekers payments were up by 4,500 in last months  ???  hope this helps

The Thousands of Steel Workers in at least 3 Works, are Not in these Unemployment figures yet, neither are the Hundreds of supply workers getting laid off, because the Owners of the Ta Ta Works Never paid them.

North East still has highest unemployment rate


Unemployment in the North East increased by 12,000 in the three months to August, official figures have revealed.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed that a total of 109,000 people were unemployed in the region between June and August.

The unemployment rate for the region was 8.6%.

job prospects in north east seem to be as poor as they have been for a long time

so sad to see so many people almost without hope



money for investment is spent in more politically sensitive areas


what about this northern powerhouse ?

ffs
