I welcome todays figures which show that the number of jobs in Northern Ireland has now increased by 41,000 since 2010 and that those claiming unemployment benefits has fallen by 25,000 since 2013.
Todays good news coupled with the growth in wages, up over 5 per cent in the last year, shows that the governments long-term economic plan continues to deliver for the people of Northern Ireland.
