No, they're just something that someone in government has said, that's all. they're not neccessarily facts.

the other thing is. they give a percentage of how many people no longer claiming during this thing. the question is, could these people consist of people that have been sanctioned. signed off because they don't want to do the work they may have felt they were forced to do. or simply just put on another scheme that results in them not counting on the unemployment figures?

if they had got jobs the govenment would know that they have a job.
where are they now? that is the question.
