Our goal is employment opportunity
Our goal is employment opportunity for all – the modern definition of
full employment. Britain has more people in work than ever before,
with the highest employment rate in the G7. Our long-term aim is to
raise the employment rate to 80 per cent. And, as we move more people
from welfare to work, the savings on unemployment benefits will
go towards investing more in education.
