More Over 50s get back to work with claimant count dropping.

According to the Department of Work and Pensions, more over 50s in York are returning to work since December. There has been a 15% drop in over 50s on the claimant count figures since last month, which is 1% down from December 2022. 

York’s JobCentrePlus has praised the work of city coaches and their staff for the success, and have arranged further events in the coming weeks to continue it, such as information sessions next month for apprenticeship application advice.
