Minister for Works and Pensions Iain Duncan Smith welcomed the news, he said: "What really makes these figures interesting is that there are 500,000 vacancieswhich is remarkable considering European economies are in recession. "Long-term unemployment has fallen weve got more people in work than ever before in difficult times this is a remarkable set of figures. "These figures show another big increase in full-time jobs, half a million more British people in work over the past year and more women in employment than ever before.
