The unemployment dropped by 7.000 to 219.000 between December and February. Meaning there are now more people with a job in Scotland. The unemployment rate now stands at 8.1%, slightly above the United Kingdom average. These figures are very welcome after a tough winter, and it reminds the government to create perfect conditions for growth of the economy. Both the Scottish and UK governments are doing everything they can to create more jobs for the Scots. The UK government for example are helping to create more private sector jobs in Scotland.
This is extremely good news for Scotland. Many Scots have been unemployed for a very long time now, and so new jobs are very welcome. Yet I do think the fact that the UK needs to help is not a good sign. I was hoping to see that the Scots could take care of themselves. Every time England needs to come to the rescue is a bad thing for a country that wants to be independent. I think this is England’s way to show Scotland, they can’t live without them. But nevertheless it is a good thing to see the Scots working again...
