Since the General Election in May 2010 the number of people on unemployment benefit has fallen by 426.<\/p>\n
Michael said:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s great news that there are now 260 fewer people on JSA in Sevenoaks and Swanley than there were last year. \u00a0That\u2019s 260 people no longer needing benefits to get by, with a more secure, brighter future ahead of them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the economy now recovering from the Great Recession, and businesses creating jobs, it\u2019s clear the Conservatives\u2019 long-term economic plan is working. We need to keep to the plan, which is delivering growth and jobs, so that more people in Sevenoaks who want to work hard and get on can have the security of a regular pay packet which they can bring home to their families.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
