Are there any unemployed people left in the UK?

Not according to the Chancellor who has been roundly criticised for a comment on the Marr Programme that - at the very least - appeared to be economically tone-deaf.
Just in case you believe the Chancellor - here is a link to the latest official figures for UK unemployment from the Office for National Statistics.
Our collection of study resources on unemployment can be found here including revision videos.
Unemployment is 4.3% - the lowest rate since 1975. We are proud of our strong employment record.
