Creative Nottingham

Good initial meeting with the full team of Creative Nottingham last night, lots of ideas, lots of eneregy, and a good mix of all-round skill sets.
Really looking forward to helping to develop this creative resource for the city.

Total unemployment falls, but long term increases

The number of people unemployed in the UK has fallen again, leaving the jobless rate at 7.8%, figures show.
However - long-term unemployment, (covering those out of work for more than a year), rose by 61,000 to 687,000.
Rachel Reeves, parliamentary candidate for West Leeds and a co-author of a report published on Wednesday by the Institute for Public Policy Research, said last year:
"If we are to get Britain back to work, there will have to be large increases in the jobs available in hi-tech manufacturing and private service sectors such as the creative industries."
