This unemployment rate crap

Anyone else believe it when carol malia reads out the employment figures for the north east on Look North? and Newcastle is always ahead of Sunderland, somehow.
 


But they presumably take their definition and parameters concerning employment from the Government..?
No. They do it themselves,I suppose if someone in government wanted a specific data set,they could maybe propose it,but I think they basically look to see what other countries are doing and replicate to make it comparable .

If anything,to me,the conservative policies would have made the numbers more accurate,but you can't really do much about employment numbers,it's unemployment ones you can mess with .

As people said,the quality of jobs isn't uniform,their definition is working at least one hour a week. But still, I mean,it's shit if someone works an hour a week,but technically they are employed.
