    Numbers .. who cares

    George Osborne’s Budget last week said that there would be a net increase of 1.3m jobs by 2015 but the Chancellor did not mention the figures used to arrive at that conclusion.




    Last night, unpublished Treasury documents disclosed that officials had estimated 2.5m jobs would be created but that a total of 1.2m would be lost in the same period, the Guardian reported.



    ...



    Brendan Barber, the TUC’s general secretary, said: “It is absurd to think that the private sector will create 2.5m new jobs over the next five years.”
