MP for North East Hertfordshire, Sir Oliver Heald, has welcomed North East Hertfordshire’s unemployment figures for April 2015, which have been released by the Office for National Statistics.
The total number of Jobseeker's Allowance claimants in the North East Hertfordshire constituency in April 2015 was 668, which places the constituency in the quarter of UK constituencies with the lowest unemployment rates. This is 285 lower than it was in April 2014.
Commenting, Sir Oliver said, “This is more good news for the UK economy. The financial security of having a job is something that more and more people are getting under this Government. I am glad that the British electorate gave their support to this plan last week, and I look forward to further progress in the months and years to come.”
