This is a bit of a worry. The Jobseeker benefit cancellations have dropped below last year's weekly equivalent. This despite all of the workers currently required. For the first time since around February the orange line has crossed the blue line.
And lest you think the picture is OK so long as the cancellations keep happening take a look at grants of Jobseeker benefit in the same period:
2,616 cancellations
2,211 grants
That's pretty static.
And of the cancellations, only 65% found work.
228 transferred to another benefit.
696 cancelled for other reasons which are typically went overseas, excess income, went to prison, became a student.
