Unemployment rates in Fife fell by three percent last month, according to recent figures. November data showed 7,590 individuals claimed Universal Credits, marking a decrease of 225 from the same period in 2022. There was a noticeable drop among claimants over 50, while the numbers for the 18-24 age bracket increased slightly. Sue Jeffrey, External Relations Leader for Jobcentre Plus in Fife, applauded the decrease in claimants, particularly in the 50-plus age group, a key priority for the year. Jobcentre work coaches played a vital role in supporting job seekers by helping them recognize, develop skills and overcome barriers to employment. Various job fairs, digital courses, and midlife MOT sessions had been facilitated and delivered throughout the year in Fife, assisting many in securing jobs. The decline in unemployment figures was attributed to the Community Job Centre’s ongoing efforts and strategic support.
