Meaningless statistic, if you don't also look at working population and growth in working age population along with total unemployment growth.
The unemployment rate (the percentage of the economically active population who are unemployed) was 4.4%, up from 4.2% a year before.
643,000 young people aged 16 to 24 were unemployed in December to February 2025, 105,000 more than the year before. The unemployment rate for 16 to 24 year olds was 14.6%, an increase from 12.8% a year before.

Taking a report of a couple of people who are having difficulty finding work is hardly indicative of a trend.Meaningless statistic, if you don't also look at working population and growth in working age population along with total unemployment growth.

"About the same"
The numbers of economic activity is not indicative of a trend if the numbers include those voluntarily unemployed, or even when the statistics collection process has been fiddled with.
All of your diagrams indicate "about the same" for all data, with the exception of the Covid effects and the unemployment rate which indicates a substantial fall in unemployment.
But you can interpret the data with your ideological coloured spectacles if you wish and spin it how you want.
Thank you for providing some pictures.
Young people looking for jobs are fishing in a small and shrinking pool.
Perhaps you think that the decline started after the current government's policies came into effect.
Please point out where you think it is visible on your graph of vacancies.
You have not provided any evidence to support your claim.
Did you find it in one of your imaginary press releases?

At least she came back from the US with an economic/trade deal... oh wait.. she didn't.
I was speaking to University lecturer I know, earlier today. 250 or so business, law and finance students expecting to graduate soon. Only 1 has a job to go to and that is the one I'm hiring.
