The number of people claiming jobseeker‟s allowance (JSA) in Liverpool, Sefton, Wirral, Knowsley, Halton and St Helens fell last month from 53,352 to 53,118 – a drop of just 0.44%. And year-on-year the numbers claiming JLA increased by 5.6%. Of the six city region boroughs, Knowsley showed the biggest fall, with the numbers claiming JSA dropping from 6,112 last month to 5,791. The figures also revealed a record number of people working part-time because they could not find a full-time job. Knowsley Council claims its Knowsley Works initiative is almost certainly a major factor in the fall in unemployment. A spokeswoman for the council said: “Over the past few months, there have been a number of big recruitment drives for some of the borough‟s best known companies including Jaguar Land Rover, IAC, Decoma and CASA Care, which have seen more than 2,000 jobs created.
