of National Statistics, the number of people out ofwork in the UK fell by 77,000 to a five-year low of 2.24m. in the


three months to February. ■ ■ The unemployment rate


now stands at 6.9% of the adult working population,average, earnings in the three months ,to February grew 1.7%, com­


pared with a year earlier and inflation was recorded to


have fallen to 1.6% in March.1 :iyfr Evans said: “What


we are seeing is-a week on week. month on month im-: provement in the economy. There are more people in' employment and wages have overtaken inflation. That is

’cycle of unemployment is hugely important.
