        @BBCBreaking And how many were zero hours contracts that don't guarantee an income for people?

        @DeathReveals Hi, could you explain to me, what is a zero hours contract? I'm not from UK, but I'm curious

        @Olua_AO You get employed with no guaranteed hours, meaning you can't count on a steady income.

        @DeathReveals ok, thank you. Is there a big unemployment problem in the UK right now? I always thought your situation was quite good.

        @Olua_AO Unemployment figures may look good, but they include zero hours as employed, despite people not making enough to cover living

        @BBCBreaking An analysis of how this figure is made up would be helpful, especially how many found secure, well-paid employment.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews "official" means "government" right? So it's "government figures" which we know are fudged.
