Unemployment UP, no Down!

Who to believe?

The BBC or Bloomberg


BBC says:

The number of people unemployed in the UK has fallen slightly, figures show.

Total unemployment stood at 2.46 million for the three months to December, down 3,000 on the figure for the previous three months.


Bloomberg says:


Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. unemployment unexpectedly jumped in January to the highest level since Tony Blair led the ruling Labour Party to power almost 13 years ago as the recession destroyed work at businesses from carmakers to banks.

Claims for jobless benefits rose by 23,500 from the previous month to 1.64 million, the highest since April 1997, the Office for National Statistics said today in London. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of 27 economists was for a drop of 10,000.



Having a look outside and the jobs websites I am more inclined to believe Bloomberg tbh


Yahoo says the same thing as Bloomberg.

So does Reuters news
