(asked on 20th February 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make an assessment of the reasons for long-term unemployment in Wolverhampton North East constituency.
This question was answered on 23rd February 2017
According to the Office for National Statistics, long-term unemployment has fallen nationally by 384,000 since 2010. Equivalent figures are not available for Wolverhampton North East due to the limitations of the sample size of the ONS survey. As such it is difficult to make an assessment of the specific reasons for long-term unemployment within the constituency.
