"Last year 80,000 people went off benefits and into work. That is actually one person for every minute of every working day."
The number of working age people on benefits rose from 351,000 to 353,000 last year. Which means 82,000 must have gone onto benefits. That is actually one person for every minute of every working day.

Is that work that makes them finacially independant, or just part time work?
Actually, both stats are good.. thats "creative destruction" underway.

No, no, the "off benefit" stat is good but the "onto benefit" stat isn't. What it does show is that not even stopping the Dole, but just stopping new awards, would actually reduce the dole by 1/4 over a year!
Sounds good to me.
Of course to stop the DBP, and especially the super, this won't work: you really just have to stop paying those once and for all.
