South Belfast people before Profit candidate says Stormont economics makes unemployment worse.
Brian Faloon, South Belfast People before Profit Candidate said "The figure announced this week of 59,000 people here in Northern Ireland without work should send shockwaves around those tasked with tackling the future prosperity of the country."
"This is the highest number of people out of work for 13 years. Equally staggering is the fact that 20% of young people aged 18-24 are without work and in some areas this figure almost doubles."
He went on to say, "With savage public sector cuts still to come, there is little doubt that the jobless figure will rise even further."
"It is therefore essential that no budget cuts are implemented and that representations should be made to the Westminster government to demand that the block grant be increased to allow for desperately needed investment in our services and in our infrastructure which would foster job creation".
