Economic Growth

Post by Thor »

Nice to see that we did not follow Germany into recession with recorded growth of 0.4% which is welcomed. It also represents a decent swing from the last quarter and if we Americanise the numbers is 2.4% annually. That would be very good when you consider parliament is broken right now.

On top of this unemployment is likely to remain held at 3.9%

Wage growth at 3.8% is also welcomed.

Things look quite good from a numbers perspective.

Could you explain how 0.4 annualised = 2.4?

You said .4? Plus a quick google says 0.3, so a 1.2 annualised rate. Or did I miss a us joke there?

Once the numbers are properly finalised the 0.3 growth won't exist.

I think sightings of the Yeti are more reliable than the unemployment figures.

I do believe they are the ones the last labour government put in place to record such people.

I agree theres probably a few million on incapacity benefit or some such benefit.

That we are arguing about the real size of growth over a period is nice. Decent figures brings out the nit-pickers who can’t take it.

Yeah nice one! Lovely person you are. For the record I dont know what any benefit is called as fortunately I've never needed any of them.

Have a nice evening.

How?

And in particular which of the various ways are you referring to.

And based on that what is your figure.
