Ok, I acknowledge you're a WUM but the measure of good WUM is how long he/she keeps attracting attention so on that note................

Minister for Jobs Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton has welcomed the latest figures showing a drop in unemployment.

The estimated unemployment rate for October has been revised down to 8.9% - the first time unemployment has fallen below 9% since the end of 2008. 

Minister Bruton said this was the 12th quarter in a row of employment growth, with another 56,000 people joining the workforce over the last year.

Surely employment growth is a good thing? If the trend continues, then those who emigrated have more prospects if they want to return.

If you take the figures that have left the country into account the employment growth wouldn't be that impressive.

So this is Fine Gaels last ditch attempt to show they are doing a good job with massaged figures?

[armaghniac]

Well show us an example of somewhere with higher employment growth.

The number of people who left is only relevant to the unemployment rate. Employment growth is employment growth. Another 56,000 in work is another 56,000 in work, regardless of how many have left.

Good news is anathema to the whinging classes.

But, but, but what about the people in that 56,000 that have gotten work abroad, or might in the future


I was in the car with a work colleague when the 1,000 jobs in Apple were announced "Sure Cork is fucked when Apple pull out, 5,000 jobs lost. What'll they do then?". I'm not sure how the government can answer that one

[foxcommander]

Hopefully FF in government along with Fine Gael will make them accountable for their actions. It's coming..the epic reunion...

Its ok. The far left will be in power by then and will nationalise it.

We will then all be comrades working for Úl.

True enough. You need a local business, like Waterford Glass, and a white knight like Tony O'Reilly to keep it going.

[Rossfan]

No doubt a SF Govt will employ them all as ahem.....community workers

[armaghniac]

Don't knock the government, this week they admitted they hadn't a clue how to introduce universal health insurance and only a day or two later Bon Secours announce more jobs.
