Temporary Christmas work.

People on Workfare (unemployed but work 'voluntarily' on a Government scheme) or on a Back to Work programe are not included in unemployment figures.

Do you know any of the alleged 18,000 ? Or is it just number crunching as all I heard of is people losing their jobs.

83,000 people have gained employment between August and October nationally, of which 18,000 were in the North West.

Yes, I know of a number of people who have got jobs recently, albeit skilled people.

Fascinating listening to Radio 2 this morning.
