Jacqui Smith: The total number of employment opportunities directly attributable to Regional Development Agency (RDA) activity(taking new and safeguarded jobs together(is one of the core output targets that England's RDAs are required to deliver in 2004–05. As outlined in a Technical Note, the unit of account is a permanent full-time equivalent paid job (FTE). A job is created and is counted, when a post...
Richard Lochhead: Scotland is making significant progress in creating green jobs. Indeed, the most recent PricewaterhouseCoopers green jobs barometer shows that Scotland is the best-performing part of the United Kingdom for green jobs created and that Scotland is well positioned to maximise the benefits of green investment. The member referred to the ONS definition of green jobs, which the organisation is...
Alan Johnson: During 2001–02, 14,655 jobs were created, and 14,868 jobs were safeguarded, across the north-west as a result of the work of the north-west development agency. Of these, 1,651 jobs were created, and 1,684 jobs safeguarded, in Lancashire; and 593 jobs were created, and 311 jobs safeguarded, in Burnley during the same period.
Phil Wilson: Can we put to bed the idea that public sector jobs crowd out private sector jobs? Between 2003 and 2008 the number of public sector jobs increased by 4.1% and the number of private sector jobs went up by 9.2%. That belies the case that the Government always make that public sector jobs crowd out private sector jobs.
Michael Fallon: UKTI has national figures. Quarterly results from April 2013 show that in 2012 UKTI helped to create 38,080 jobs and safeguard 83,780 jobs, making a total of 121,860 jobs. In 2011 UKTI helped to create 36,400 jobs and safeguard 68,500 jobs, making a total of 104,900 jobs.
Mims Davies: As of the 26th October, almost 94,000 young people have started a Kickstart job. With the current pace of starts, we are confident that in early November over 100,000 young people will have started in a Kickstart job. This is an amazing achievement with the first jobs having started only a year ago. We will continue to offer Kickstart jobs to many thousands more. As of the 26th of...
Michael Fallon: ...survey (PIMS) to measure the impact and effectiveness of its support. The results published in the 2012-13 UKTI annual report and accounts show that our trade services helped create 38,080 jobs and safeguard 83,780 jobs, making a total of 121,860 jobs. The 2011-12 annual report and accounts show that UKTI helped to create 36,400 jobs and safeguard 68,500 jobs, making a total of 104,900...
Jonathan Bell: Job creation is one of the key priorities contained in the One Plan for the city's regeneration. I emphasise the very challenging economic climate during that period. The 1,180 jobs promoted in 2012-13 are from a range of sectors, including construction, information technology, engineering and hospitality. As the Member would expect, there are commercial sensitivities regarding the...
Kevan Jones: The following tables show the lists of job codes contained in each job family: (a) Business management and improvement Job family Job code Business Management and Improvement Consultancy Audit and Assurance Business Management Performance Management (b) Corporate support Job family Job code Corporate Support Administrative Support Secretarial ...
Clare Short: My Department currently employs 18 job sharers on official job share contracts. We maintain a job share register where staff can find potential job share partners or new job share opportunities. We have also provided guidance to all our employees which commend the value to both the organisation and the individual of job sharing and other flexible working patterns.
Alex Salmond: Because of the 6,300 jobs in Dunfermline, Livingston and Uddingston and the 2,000 jobs in Glasgow and elsewhere, which the Labour Party did not even know about last week. Those jobs are the priority. Maybe that is the difference that people might reflect on tomorrow: where the Opposition parties have different priorities, ours are jobs, jobs, jobs, not muck, muck, muck.
Ann Clwyd: Yes, indeed. It is interesting that the Government only speculate on the number of jobs that the national lottery could provide in place of the pools jobs. But the pools jobs are established jobs. We prefer to put our faith in established jobs rather than in the Government's promises of what jobs might be provided at some time in the future. I noticed that the Secretary of State did not make...
Henry McLeish: There are no published figures on overall job loss or job creation for Scotland. Civilian Workforce Jobs series data, which are available quarterly on a seasonally unadjusted basis, show that the total number of employee jobs in Scotland has increased by 41,000 between March 1997 and March 1999. Over this period, the number of manufacturing jobs in Scotland fell by 10,000 to 306,000, the...
Mark Tami: Does the hon. Gentleman not agree that, even if we do accept that more jobs are coming in, we are also losing jobs? A few days ago, we had the announcement that 120 jobs were going at the Shotton paper mill. Although I welcome all jobs, replacing those quality, highly skilled jobs with minimum wage jobs is not the same thing.
Ian Davidson: Indeed. Some 6,700 jobs would be lost. To be fair, many are naval jobs in uniform. Presumably many of those people would be relocated elsewhere, and therefore would not be directly made redundant, but the other jobs would obviously be lost if Faslane and Coulport were closed, as would all the support jobs in the community. It has been estimated that up to 11,000 jobs could be lost. The...
Mr Kenneth Eastham: The hon. Gentleman cannot expect 4 million people to jump on bikes and find jobs in another area. The hon. Gentleman is deceiving himself if he believes that more jobs have been created. If he analysed the Department's figures, he would find that many of the jobs to which he referred are part-time jobs. The full-time jobs are going. The part-time jobs tend to be the worst jobs and the lowest...
Arlene Foster: Again, that is not true. Only one large company, Capita pensions in north Belfast, took advantage of the jobs fund. To date, any other companies that availed themselves of the jobs fund were small companies. Around 13 jobs were created at a couple of companies in Londonderry. Creative Composites in Lisburn is an SME and created 30 new jobs in Lagan valley. To date, we have promoted 400 jobs...
David Willetts: ...Following the Government's Information Economy Strategy, the IT services, software, and telecommunication services sub-sectors were combined to define the Information Economy sector. The numbers of jobs created is not recorded, though the ONS does collate the overall number of jobs allowing the net change to be calculated. Number of jobs in the IT services, software and...
Mr Rod Richards: ..., Wales does not intend to take on board any of the federal European political baggage, which other countries want to do. Let me illustrate to my hon. Friend what that means to Wales in terms of jobs—I hope that Opposition Members will listen. It means investment by Bosch of Germany resulting in 1,000 jobs; by L'Oreal of France, more than 500 jobs; by FRAM of Italy, more than 500 jobs;...
Caroline Flint: Up to the end of May 2007, New Deal for Disabled People (NDDP) had helped 151,970 people into work. Information on job sustainability through NDDP is only available up to March 2006, and only available for jobs gained through an NDDP Job Broker. Of the 77,820 people who gained a job through an NDDP Job Broker to March 2006, 56,510 (73 per cent.) gained a sustained job. Information on the...
