Employment is at a record high
The government is quoting a figure for "employment" which includes anyone who does ONE HOUR or more of paid work in a fortnight. It also includes 844,000 people who are on zero hours contracts or doing gig economy jobs with no job security.
And the only reason wages are "rising at the fastest rate for 10 years" is that, for the previous 10 years, the government deliberately restricted wage growth.
So, please, look at the facts, not the spin.
