Hot off the press are this months latest unemployment figures which show that this month there has been a slight fall in the number of unemployed in Bury North to 2064. This number has been remarkably static for several years and in fact out of interest I looked back to see what the corresponding figure was for April 2010 which was the first time I was sent the figures after the 2010 general election. In that month there were 2136 unemployed. As a percentage of the all those economically active there has been a fall from 5.2% to 4.7%.
