UK falls by 5,000, ONS report says

A brand new report by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reveals some good news for the UK economy, announcing the fact that the number of unemployed people across the UK has fallen by 5,000.

According to the respective report, around 2.51 million people were out of work in the three months to April, the 7.8% jobless rate remaining unchanged compared to the previous three months period.

Furthermore, average earnings also recorded a slight increase (1.3%, compared to the previous year, 0.7% compared to the previous month), and the number of people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance

has also fallen by 8,600 in May, down to 1.51 million.

The fall in unemployment across the UK is a very good piece of news, but it’s also likely to affect companies’ HR departments, which will be forced to streamline their operation in order to cope with the higher staff numbers.

This makes it a very good time for the respective firms to adopt an advanced workforce management system, and this is exactly where Tensor can really put its extensive experience to work.
