In the lead up to National Hug Your Boss Day, we have collated a number of new stats and facts that we are busily uploading to the website. We have pulled together a few of these are created a new infographic to have a peak at. 

Here it is below :)

It has been reported today in the UK, Wednesday 16th November 2016, that the unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level for almost 11 years in the 3 months after Brexit.

The Office of National Statistics reports that the jobless rate falls to 4.8% between July and September which has not been achieved since 2005.

Brexit created huge uncertainty for Britain's economy and there were fears of a possible recession but these figures prove that the Country is fighting back and maintaining its strong position.
