So I'd like to see 3 sets of figures to get the true picture.
1), Those out of work, re the unemployed.
2), Those only in partial employment, part time and zero hour contracts.
3), Then those in FULL time hours employment.
Only then do we then have any true employment/unemployment figures.
Otherwise the saying, there are lies, damn lies and statistics, is the best way to describe the figures we get at present.
