@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 so are you saying that 43000 new jobs have been created during the month. That is a fucking miracle. -
@Konichikagawa@KevinTurveyRIP@BBCBreaking I think we're entitled to know the full breakdown of this employment miracle-sanctions etc. -
