“…The number of people on the unemployment benefit has jumped in the past month …
… while the total number of people claiming a benefit has also gone up, Social Development Minister Paula Bennett says.
About 2000 more people applied to be on the unemployment benefit last month, Ms Bennett revealed yesterday.
The number of people on any welfare benefit rose by 1.1 per cent.
She said the increase in those receiving the unemployment benefit was expected, caused in large part to seasonal work coming to an end.
“We knew recovering from a recession would be a long and bumpy road … but there are pockets of success.”
