Finance and Related Matters: Statements.

 

There is currently an unemployment rate of under 5%. This is very different from countries such as Germany and France. It is the best in our history, and so far it is stable. While I know it is an imperfect measure, the live register has not risen very much from one year to the next and long may that continue. I hope we will get through the current difficulties without unemployment going much over 5%. Historically, all of this is unimaginable.
