The latest figures published today by the Office for National Statistics have shown a rise in the number of people out of work which has increased by 49,000 to 2.5 million in the three months to November last year.
Gareth Osborne of APA said: “This is not unexpected but what is particularly concerning is the growth of 32,000 in the number of 16 to 24 year olds not in work and resulting in an all-time high of 951,000 for this age group. The UK is in serious danger of creating a workless generation of young people; without the chance of a job, training or relevant education.
.
“With the Government claiming to be pro business, pro growth and pro jobs, we will being looking to it to fuel job creation as a national imperative. With the overall jobless totals set to rise further as public sector redundancies start to bite, it is essential that the entrepreneurial (many small business) sector of the economy be enabled to employ people with the minimum of fuss and associated cost. APA will work with Government to identify and support innovative employment programmes.”
