	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>The unemployment rate in Wolverhampton North East is less than half it was in 2010. At 7.1%, it is down from 12.1% a year ago and 16.4% in 2010. There are 5,100 more people in work in Wolverhampton North East than in 2010.</p><p> </p><p>Jobcentre staff are doing an effective job helping people into work and 90% of Jobseekers end their claim within a year. We are proud of this record but not complacent. That is why we are currently introducing targeted support for young people, people with disabilities and the long-term unemployed.</p><p> </p><p>Reforming the welfare system is key to helping people into work. Under the last Labour Government, some benefit claimants lost £1 for every £1 they earned meaning it didn’t pay to work and people were left trapped on benefits. Under the new system, people benefit from every extra hour worked, so work really pays and people have the opportunity to become more financially secure and develop skills to access greater opportunities.</p><p> </p><p>Only by securing a strong economy can we create the jobs people need to be financially secure. That’s why we’ve kept public spending under control while acting to boost productivity over the long-term by increasing the National Productivity Investment Fund by £8 billion. As part of locally specific support for the West Midlands, we are providing up to £4.7m for a trial in the region to help boost the prospects of disadvantaged individuals getting jobs and progress the careers of those on low incomes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 30/11/2017 16:48:16 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2017 answer text <p>In 2010 we inherited the UK’s largest deficit since the second world war at 9.9% of GDP. We set out a clear framework to restore confidence in the economy and reduce the deficit which has fallen by three quarters. At just 4.3% our unemployment rate is at its lowest in over 40 years and down from 8.0% in 2010. The economy is now operating with near record high employment and more than 70% of the increase to employment since 2010 has been outside of London.</p><p> </p><p>The government is proud of this record but not complacent. That is why we have introduced new targeted employment support to help young people, people with disabilities and the long-term unemployed this year. We are also committed to building strong city regions led by elected mayors. Devolution deals have given a number of areas greater involvement in the provision of localised and targeted employment support.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 05/12/2017 14:29:43 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
