>There were 101,000 people aged 16 and over out of work in Scotland in the latest quarter, while about 2.7m people were in employment, according to the ONS estimates.
>The employment rate for those aged from 16 to 64 was 74.3%, which was down by 0.7% on the previous quarter.
>The number of economically inactive people in Scotland aged between 16 and 64 was estimated to have increased to 774,000 in the latest quarter – a rise of 0.8%.
I wonder why there is such a discrepancy UK wide compared to Scotland? Older population?
More people jump on I’m too lazy to work benefits rather than unemployment maybe?
true, I finally found a job!
Can tell that headline was written through gritted teeth.Â
Be interesting to see what that 25.7% are made up of.
How is it possible to take something seriously that depicts someone earning 500k a year and someone earning 15k a year as exactly the same thing…
Amongst the lowest in Europe and under the UK average. Another union benefit 🇬🇧
Not fucking noticing it on this end, still no full time job to show and the vacancies are drying up for me.
