Hackney has the highest percentage of unemployment of all London boroughs despite making a slight recovery. The figures for December (published this month) show that 6.7% of the borough's 140,000 workforce are on Job Seeker's Allowance.
The next worst borough is Tower Hamlets which has 6.5% claiming JSA. The gap between Hackney and Tower Hamlets widened in December.
December (published in January) - 9743 (6.7%) - next highest was Tower Hamlets at 6.5%
November (published in December) - 9,795 (6.8%) - next highest was Tower Hamlets at 6.7%
In October Tower Hamlets and Hackney had equal highest percentage claiming JSA. But Hackney has been the slowest to recover.
