<p>The success of our Plan for Jobs is playing a key role in spreading opportunity
across the country.</p><p> </p><p>The Government protected 11.7 million jobs through
the pandemic, as well as moving millions of job seekers into work and supporting young
people through programmes like kickstart and our apprenticeships offer.</p><p> </p><p>It’s
clear our plan is working. 2 million fewer people are out of work than originally
feared, and the unemployment rate remains close to a near 50 year low.</p><p> </p><p>We
will continue to build on this success with our Way to Work campaign, which aims to
support 500,000 jobseekers into work by the end of June.</p>
