Youth Unemployment in Chelmsford more than doubles in the last year
15 May 2009
Commenting on his Parliamentary Written Answer from the Employment Minister, Tony McNulty, Simon Burns MP said:
"It is extremely worrying that in the last year the proportion of young people aged between 18 and 24 in the Chelmsford Local Authority area who are unemployed has more than doubled from 2.4% to 5.7%.
"Sadly, this reflects the overall upward trend in unemployment in the Borough and is of particular concern."
