5.6% fall in unemployment in Mid Dorset and North Poole

July 19, 2010 4:04 PM

New figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) giving unemployment figures for June 2010 have shown that the number of people claiming unemployment benefits in the constituency of Mid Dorset and North Poole has fallen by 5.6 per cent in the last month.

827 people were registered unemployed in June 2010 compared with 876 people in May 2010, which represents a rate of 2.2 per cent of the working age population in the constituency.

Following the release of these figures, Annette Brooke commented: "Whilst it is pleasing to note that marginally fewer people are out of work in Mid Dorset and North Poole, we cannot become complacent about unemployment in our area.

"The coalition government is committed to tackling unemployment. During this difficult time as we tackle the huge national debt, we must ensure that existing jobs in this area are protected and that young jobseekers and those who are struggling to get back to work receive the support they need."

    If you are a resident of the constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
