Building an economy that works for everyone

A reminder of the data released this week showing the progress of the UK economy:

 

Key facts:

 

  • More than 500,000 new companies have been set up under the Conservatives, taking on more than four million employees. There are now 32.7 million people in work – more than ever before – with record female employment, a million disabled people in work in the last five years and wages rising for 15 months in a row.

 



  • Britain is also one of the top locations to start a technology company that reaches a $1 billion dollar valuation, only behind the USA and China.



Why this matters: 

This data shows we are an entrepreneurial, high-tech nation attracting talent and investment from across the world. We are pro-business because it is private enterprise that creates growth and opportunity, and with wages and employment continuing to rise people across the UK have more money in their pockets.
