By this I mean that before considering taking on new employees most employers will increase the hours of part timers. This would be welcomed by most part timers and is the cheapest way for an employer to increase capacity. net result - no new job. There is a lot of slack in the system th be taken up this way before we see a meaningful increase in new jobs.<br />Incidentally I read somewhere that the deadweight percentage was 28% so an actual figure of 30% means that all the expense of the WP has resulted in a +2% net result. I do not know what this represents in numbers but I'm guessing the cost per net job must be enormous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-69122554791386127302012-04-18T23:50:59.388-07:002012-04-18T23:50:59.388-07:00Actually, Unemployment in the North West has gone ...Actually, Unemployment in the North West has gone UP by 18,000.
