Unemployment figures - New Labour innumeracy
I am a bit of a news junkie, as you will get to know by reading this blog. When I was reading the news earlier this afternoon, I found 2 completely contradictory stories about unemployment.The first was UK unemployment at six-year high. The second was Unemployment down, says Blair.
What?!?! I think many bad things about this government but I never thought that innumeracy was one of them. I am about to start a maths degree (with physics) so it would seem that I can count. Not so. Unemployment has gone down to reach a 6 (yes, six) year high.

well in the scheme of things, unemployment now, or for the past 4-5 years compared to any tory government year after 1079, and yes unemployment is down.
we even beat you by your own mathematical calculation.
