Commenting on today's figures showing that unemployment has leapt again to its highest level in Wales in over 10 years, Welsh Lib Dem Shadow Minister for the Economy, Jenny Randerson AM said:
"Every day, thousands more jobs are being lost or put at serious risk across Britain. We were told that Wales was well placed to weather the storm, but these figures suggest differently. Once again, Wales is losing jobs faster than the UK as a whole. It is time for real action on job creation, by Government's at both ends of the M4. The construction sector, which has been hit hardest in recent months would get a well earned boost if Government's brought forward capital spends to create good, environmentally friendly and secure jobs."
