Bank of England must act to support manufacturing jobs
Commenting on today's (Wednesday 15 January) employment statistics, STUC Assistant Secretary, Tracey White, said,
"Today's employment statistics are encouraging overall, but unemployment levels still vary significantly across Scotland and manufacturing employment is still causing great concern.
