Unemployment benefit claims in Crawley are at their lowest in six years.

That’s according to the office for National Statistics.

The Jobseekers’ Allowance claimant rate in Crawley hasn’t been this low since autumn 2008.

MP Henry Smith says he’s ‘particularly pleased to see that youth unemployment in Crawley has fallen to 2.1 per cent, which represents a fall of three quarters.’

If you are unemployed you might be interested in the second annual Crawley Jobs Fair which will be held at the Civic Hall on Friday, the 19th of September.
