Heather Wheeler, MP for South Derbyshire, has expressed her delighted on hearing about a further fall in unemployment this morning.
Heather commented “The good news on unemployment continues with a fall this quarter of 115,000. It has fallen every month since May 2013 and the vast majority of the new jobs have been full time. There are now more people in work than at any time since records began in 1971 bringing in a steady wage and security for themselves and their families.
“Figures for South Derbyshire in September show there are 651 people on the unemployment register, another drop of 53 this month, and there are new jobs coming on stream all the time. At 1.2% our unemployment figure is one of the lowest in the country.
“Other good news was wages had risen faster than inflation a trend I am sure will continue. This goes to show our economic policies are working, giving businesses the confidence to open and expand and providing opportunities for individuals, finally putting an end to the legacy of Labour’s economic failure” finished Mrs Wheeler.
