Henry Smith MP has welcomed figures confirming that the unemployment rate in Crawley has fallen by 60 per cent in the five years to December 2015.

Henry said;

“I welcome the announcement that since December 2010, there are 1,279 more Crawley people in work – representing a 60 per cent drop in ‎joblessness.

“Nationally I welcome the employment rate reaching 74 per cent – the highest ever.

“I’m very aware that there is more to do and this is why I’m organising the Crawley Apprenticeship & Jobs Fair on 4th March at the Civic Hall.

“Entry is of course free to all jobseekers. Organisations such as B&CE The People’s Pension, the RNIB, Autism Sussex, the Crawley Town Community Foundation and the British Army are among those who will be in attendance.”
