Therese Coffey – 2022 Comments on Falling Unemployment

The comments made by Therese Coffey, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, on 27 May 2022.

Unemployment is at its lowest since the 1970s with full time workers across the UK £6000 better off than if they were on benefits. And there are still vacancies to fill. That’s why our jobcentres are helping employers short circuit the recruitment process so they can get talent in fast. So, if you’re hiring, make the most of the help on offer from us.
