Some of the figures released today show that the rate of employment has grown with over 7,000 more people in work across Wales.
Responding to these figures, Eluned Parrott, Welsh Liberal Democrat Shadow Business Minister said:
“The Economy is picking up and along with a rise in wages people are beginning to feeling it, employment figures are on the up and the number of people claiming unemployment benefit is on the way down, but there is still work to be done.
“The Welsh Government must redouble it’s efforts to tackle youth unemployment and press ahead with job creation around Wales’ Enterprise Zones.
“We want to see Welsh businesses thrive and have the confidence to take on more staff enabling them to grow to their fullest potential.”
