Commenting on the latest labour market figures published
today (Wednesday) by the Office for National Statistics, TUC General Secretary Frances
O’Grady said:
“These are encouraging figures for the millions of people
desperate for work. It is good that unemployment levels continue to fall, and
that young people are finally beginning to share in the improving jobs market.
“But people already in work have less to cheer about with
prices still rising twice as fast as wages. While we have a record proportion
of women in employment the widening gender pay gap means many women are not
getting the fair pay they deserve.
“Jobless levels are falling but there’s a long way to go
before we see the rates of pay and employment enjoyed before the recession.”
