London was one of only three regions in Britain to see an increase in unemployment in the previous quarter, despite the biggest fall in unemployment for over a decade across the country. The Office for National Statistics announced today that a record number of people are in work across Britain after the biggest quarterly fall since the Spring of 2001. The jobless total fell by 82,000 in the three months to October to 2.51 million, down by 128,000 on a year ago. Employment jumped by 40,000 to 29.6 million, the highest figure since records began in 1971 and up by half a million on a year ago. However, London saw an extra 5,000 people join the ranks of unemployed in the period, one of only three of the UK's 12 regions to register an increase. The shift in employment patterns was revealed in new data showing a slump in public sector employment and an increase in the numbers employed in private firms. Public sector employment fell for the 12th consecutive quarter, by 24,000 to 5.7 million, the lowest since 2002. Employment in the civil service was cut by 3,000 to 455,000, the lowest since records began in 1999, while local government employment also fell to a record low of 2.5 million after a cut of 32,000. Private sector employment rose by 65,000 in the latest quarter to 23.8 million, the highest on record. The number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance fell by 3,000 in November to 1.58 million, following two monthly increases. But those classed as economically inactive, including those looking after a family, on long-term sick leave or

steavieb 54 days ago I have to agree with UKIP on this one lets close the doors on immigration and look within Britain and where we either do not have the talent required or a specialist role needs to be filled then we eiher train those here to do it or look abroad to fill it,theres too much excuses about laziness when the people at the TOP start apportioning the blame then everyone else will join in the argument instead of gettin on with it,Canadas moto our Country our people first a classic example of self preservation no racism needed then eh????

pigstrough 54 days ago loads of private sector jobs if you don't mind working part-time and the last time I was in the jobcentre, it was full of eastern europeans. Seems like neither the front door nor back doors are closed. Is this government doing anything about restricting the amount of people who can come here. Seems like the EU is moving to Britain and staying put. Huge influx next year of Greeks, Italians, Spaniards, Romanians etc... but our infrastructure is crumbling. We desperately need a handout from Brussels.
