Ministerial responsibilities @DWPgovuk now published... and for first time in 25 years(?) we've separate Ministers for Employment and Social Security!
Good news in my view - both priorities, and two great appts in @Alison_McGovern and @stephenctimms 🧵

I ASK EVERYONE WHO SEES THIS TWEET TO PLEASE RT IT.
Tomorrow nurses strike. They will be put through hell by the media, politicians and the establishment.
Ahead of the action please share this tweet if you back the nurses and find it sickening that they are being vilified.

We need to 'accept and normalise working lives extending into 60s and 70s' says @KimChaplain @Ageing_Better. This requires multifaceted approach including pensions policy, employer attitudes, and making lifelong learning a reality for more. #EmpSkills22
ALT Lots of people looking at stage

Key story in @ONS labour market stats in recent months is the "missing million" (@tonywilsonIES). Unemployment is low, but more are becoming "economically inactive", i.e. out of work & not applying for work. Important to communicate this to public rather than "low unemployment"

One of the big uncertainties about the pandemic's effect on the size of the UK population, and its labour market specifically, was migration. Just how many people left (and entered) the UK after Covid-19 hit. And was there a mass exodus of EU workers?

Where are the missing workers? Why the Chancellor needs to act
With 1.1 million vacancies, #employment rising and #unemployment falling, it’s easy to conclude the labour market crisis is over.

Disappointing today on jobs and skills, with no help for the thousands of firms struggling to recruit nor the millions off work due to ill health and caring.
The recruitment and participation crisis continues...
