Unemployment figure at its lowest since 2008

Sat, 07 Nov 2015


Job vacancies spiked in September with the lowest number of people out of work since 2008. 

The Job Centre was notified of over 900 posts - 500 remained on file at the end of the month.

Around 2,500 people left the unemployment register over the past year.

It has left shortages in certain sectors - like ICT and engineering; leaving a greater demand to grow the Island's working population.
