    Unemployment dips to an 11 year low of 4.7%

    I guess employers didn't listen to Carney et al and shed 1,000,000 jobs after the vote after all.

      Despite the numbers, Resolution said the “zero-hours juggernaut may have come to a halt”, with the pace of growth slowing markedly in the second half of 2016, to 0.8% from 7.7% in the same period a year earlier.

      It was the first time growth in zero-hours was slower than overall employment growth across the economy, the thinktank said.

      “With the employment rate at a record high and the first inklings that firms may think the supply of labour from the EU could be limited after Brexit, employers may be finding it harder to fill roles without guaranteeing hours of work,” Resolution said.
      oh look cut off supply and employers behave who would of thunk it?

      Now a government action to look through zero hour contracts and to turn them into tasty employment contracts with a few high profile scalps and the abuse will end.
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        Wonder if it's ever occurred to you that for some people that's exactly what they want? Better still if you are one of those that does actually 'work' then you're more likely to get more.
