The Deception of Job Seeker Support

Job seeker figures overall have fallen from over 200,000 people receiving job seeker support in March 2022 to a little under 170,000. The key stat probably overall is that of all people on job seeker, about 26% of those would also be included in the unemployment rate with a further 40% say they're actively not looking for work. But there's nothing hidden here that says things are worse than what the unemployment figure says.
