Government is getting it right on jobs front

I have argued to the point of boredom since the Government came into office that its success or failure should be determined at end of its term by the number of people in meaningful employment.

From an economic and social perspective, unemployment is an unambiguous evil as it destroys morale as well as representing a massive loss of human potential and economic potential. Many of the problems we are dealing with as a society, such as personal debt, depression, emigration and much more besides, could be very positively impacted by an improvement in the employment situation.

In fairness the Government does get this point.
