The figures show a record high employment level \u2013 with more women in work than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>This growth has been driven by a rise in permanent, private sector jobs, which suggests businesses are feeling positive about the future.<\/p>\n<p>There was more good news for the constituency, with figures released today showing unemployment falling to 4.3%. It is\u00a0the fifth consecutive month in which a fall has occurred here and the percentage people out of work is down from 5.3% in May 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Simon added: \u201cWhilst it is welcome that unemployment has fallen under the Coalition Government, clearly there is no room for complacency and events like this serve as a timely reminder that many people are still searching for employment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simon concluded: \u201cMy message for those attending in search of a job will be simple, keep your head up, keep applying and you will find the vacancy that is right for you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0By our political team Simon Kirby, Member of Parliament for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, today attended a jobs fair at The Grand Hotel in Brighton to speak with jobseekers and employers Simon said: \u201cJobs fairs can be important ways for people looking for work to access advice and techniques to help them in their search, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[104,103],"tags":[603,602,286],"class_list":["post-4065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news-brighton","category-politics-2","tag-jobseekers-allowance","tag-office-of-national-statistics","tag-simon-kirby-mp"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
