Ms Weymes presented some figures on the labour market. The figures on projected increases in employment rates were national figures. Are figures available for employment growth in the regions? One of the concerns expressed by members is the regional disparity in employment growth, particularly in the west, which is not experiencing the required level of employment growth. Does the Department have figures for projected reductions in unemployment or increases in employment in the west next year?
