Helping people back into work

Today the government announced our Back to Work Plan to provide additional support for over a million people to look for and stay in work, giving many more people the benefit of a regular wage and growing the economy. 

• Boosting employment is not only a crucial part of our work to grow the economy but it can also transform the lives of people who are struggling to get into the workplace.

• That is why the Conservative government has announced our £2.5 billion Back to Work Plan, giving over a million people the help they need to get off benefits and move into work over the next five years alongside stricter benefit sanctions to drive up employment as we grow the economy.

• We know the best plan to grow the economy is a jobs plan and our Back to Work Plan will help more people into work, giving them the security of a regular wage as we grow the economy.
