The number of people without jobs rose in 38 of Birmingham’s 40 wards last month. Harborne and Brandwood were the only wards in the City that saw a drop in jobless figures. Tyburn’s unemployment rate is 16%, almost three times above the national average.
(The seasonally adjusted Unemployment Benefit
Count (UBC) for the UK increased by 6,900 in
January. The Count now stands at 1,604,600.
The rate remained at 5.6%. source:BCC/ONS/NOMIS)
If Tyburn’s unemployment rate was 3 almost times above the national average surely that would be close on 24%?
