The government claims the Tories have created 3.4 million new jobs in the UK since 2010. Are they sure they want to boast about this?

Posted on October 24 2023

I have just posted this on Twitter:

All data used is from the ONS or HMRC.

I think what the government has created are remarkably few jobs (especially as the population rose by 4.3 million in this period) and those that have been created pay very poorly.

Thanks for reading this post.

    Disingenuous is the most polite way of describing such scummy claims like this.

    The increase in the numbers in employment will include full time students, many of whom now have to combine study with work due to high fees and rents. More people of retirement age are also having to work.
