The November unemployment rate in Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Motspur Park & Morden is 609 (1.1%). This is down 48 since Nov 2015, and down 405 (40%) since November 2010.
I am also glad to see nationally that the unemployment rate has dropped to just 4.8% - the joint lowest rate for over ten years.
The number of women in work is at a record high of almost 15 million and youth unemployment is down 352,000 since 2010. There are 31.8 million people in work, up by 2.7 million since 2010 – that’s well over 1,000 jobs created on average every day – and average wages excluding bonuses grew by 2.6 per cent over the last year.
