Unemployment rate down again
The minister for policy and reform says the latest employment figures are an accurate representation of the position on the Island.
They show the number of people out of work and claiming benefits on the Island has fallen, with some 349 people unemployed, a decrease of 22 from February and 50 fewer than March 2018.
That rate now stands at 0.8%, down from 0.9% in February.
Speaking on Mandate this morning, Chris Thomas said there were two definitions of unemployment:
MHK given leave to introduce free period products bill
Joney Faragher says move will bring IOM in line with other jurisdictions
Mountain Road closed due to RTC
Motorists asked to use alternative route
Local authorities ask LegCo to 'protect democracy'
Hearing held into controversial clause which authorities say could give DOI 'carte blanche' powers
Constabulary launches Operation Uplift, tells road users 'make sure you're bright at night'
A few simple steps can make a big difference
