The number of unemployed claimants in Mid Sussex constituency in March 2014 was 481, a rate of 0.9% of the economically active, one of the lowest figure in the Country. Evidence that the our local economy is powering ahead and helping improve living standards, which in turn will provide more security for families.
Nationally unemployment is down by 7% for the first time since Labour’s Great Recession.
There are now a record number of jobs in Britain meaning more people than ever are taking home a pay packet and have the ability to provide for their families. This is compelling evidence that our long-term economic plan is working.
