MP for North East Hertfordshire, Sir Oliver Heald, has welcomed North East Hertfordshire’s annual unemployment figures, which have been released by the Office for National Statistics.
The total number of Jobseeker's Allowance claimants in North East Hertfordshire constituency in July 2015 was 667, which places the constituency in the quarter of UK constituencies with the lowest unemployment rates. This is 173 lower than it was a year earlier.
Commenting, Sir Oliver said, “I am glad to see this good news for North East Hertfordshire’s economy. High rates of employment are vital if we are to secure Britain’s recovery, and we are on the right track.”
