Following VB publishing the Isle of Wight JSA figures, Bruce Steers asked on the VentnorBlog Facebook page, Isle of Wight News, “Now I’d like to see the figure of how many jobs there are on offer at the Jobcentre. I bet it’s only a 3 figure number.”
Always willing to go the extra mile for the Island ;), we got straight on the case, dug through the facts and figures and have come up with the following for you.
Below we’ve got the month-by-month breakdown of the Unfilled Jobcentre vacancies at the Island Jobcetre, the unfilled Jobcentre vacancies per 10,000 population aged 16-64 and the number of JSA claimants per unfilled Jobcentre vacancy.
Hope you find it interesting.
