Commenting on figures published today showing unemployment in Wales fell by 6,000 in the 3 months to February 2014, Eluned Parrott, Welsh Liberal Democrat Shadow Economy Minister, said:
“Liberal Democrats in the UK Government are building a stronger economy and today we can see what that means for people in Wales.
“The Liberal Democrats’ overarching goal when forming the Coalition Government was to get our economy back on track. These figures are further proof that the measures taken by the Coalition Government are working.
“While the fall in unemployment is promising, there can be no room for complacency. There is a still a long way to go as many people are still struggling to find work. The Welsh Liberal Democrats want to see Welsh businesses thrive and have the confidence to take on more staff. For that to happen, we need both the UK and Welsh governments working constructively together for the people of Wales.”
