Sort of, the '7% rise' in unemployment would be due to loss of jobs, but I'd guess at least 50% of those who lose a job will find work through agencies (zero hour stuff) on probably 2 days a week . . and would therefore be then classed as employed again . . thus reducing that 7% figure by quite a bit
