We’ve got to keep investing in jobs through the recovery. That’s why I’m backing the Future Jobs Fund which will bring more jobs to Derby, jobs that David Cameron wants to slash.
In previous recessions unemployed young people were left on the scrapheap. We can’t let this happen again.
That’s why I support Labour’s guarantees - an education or training place for young people up to 18. And a job or training place for 18-24 year olds out of work for six months. Both funded by a one off tax on bankers' bonuses.
In spite of the worst worldwide recession since the 1930s, unemployment in Derby is still lower than it was when we came to power in 1997. During the last recession in 1992, under the Tories, unemployment in Derby stood at 13,275 – almost double what it is today!
