Targeted support to sustain viable business alongside a strong job creation policy are the best route available to keep unemployment rates as low as possible, say tax and advisory firm Blick Rothenberg, as the Bank of England revises down its unemployment estimate

Richard Churchill, a Partner at the firm said: “As the Bank of England revises down its unemployment estimate, the Chancellor has a dilemma in choosing between Job Retention, and job creation.”

He added: “Any extension of the JRS should be in a targeted manner and focus on specific sectors including seasonal businesses for which this sort of approach is critical if they are to survive.”

Richard said: “Carte blanche’ measures allow both the strong and the weak to survive a little longer and delays the inevitable, which is not healthy for the economy.”

.He added: “ However, for those businesses that were successful but seasonal in nature and for which the spring and summer is the key trading period the Chancellor needs to think hard about further support, will ensure  businesses can sustain themselves through the winter months and emerge next spring.”

Richard said: “Targeted support to sustain viable business alongside job creation policies are the best route available to keep unemployment rates as low as possible.”
