Maria Miller MP welcomes new unemployment figures for Basingstoke released this morning, showing that the total number of Jobseeker’s Allowance claimants in the constituency was 651 in August 2015.
Unemployment figures are continuing to fall in Basingstoke; the number of people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance has dropped by 245 since August last year and 9 lower than in July 2015.
