Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 1:44 pm on 22 January 2020.
Absolutely, and I'm sure that the Member would welcome the fact that, as a consequence of the hard work by businesses and organisations and, of course, the Welsh Government, we have now achieved the lowest ever rate of unemployment in Wales, the lowest level since records began, just 3 per cent lower than the UK average of 3.8 per cent. Moreover, I'm sure the Member will welcome the fact that gross value added and GVA per head in Wales is growing faster than at the UK level and that we have a higher business birthrate in Wales than the UK.
