According to the beeb unemployment is at the lowest levels since November 2008, but is the largest annual fall in unemployment since 1988.
No doubt this matches a curve for the growing numbers of self employed and new small businesses! Be interesting to see stats on new businesses that survive past year 1, year 2 etc.
If Scotland decides to breakaway tomorrow, I wonder how that will affect the UK unemployment figures? Already seen some funny stats such as the average amount of UK rainfall will decrease, and apparently the UK average life expectancy will increase!
