Action Plan for Jobs 2012: Statements (16 Feb 2012)

Aspects of the jobs plan are welcome and I hope the target of 100,000 jobs will be exceeded, even though it is a round figure and was picked out of the air. The net increase in the number of jobs is a key issue. I welcome a number of measures and have criticisms of a number of others. There are...
