Unemployment rate down again
The minister for policy and reform says the latest employment figures are an accurate representation of the position on the Island.
They show the number of people out of work and claiming benefits on the Island has fallen, with some 349 people unemployed, a decrease of 22 from February and 50 fewer than March 2018.
That rate now stands at 0.8%, down from 0.9% in February.
Speaking on Mandate this morning, Chris Thomas said there were two definitions of unemployment:
Government considering if seaweed could be used as fertiliser
DEFA contacts local authorities for their views
Laxey Brass Band Festival postponed
First weather-related postponement in nine years
TT footbridge to be installed
Road closure in place whilst work is carried out
Autoimmune charity approaching 10 year anniversary
Island founder of 'Without Wings' says it's a 'big deal'
