Unemployment rose (1 Jan 1991 Jahr – 1 Jan 1992 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

From mid-1991 to late 1992, unemployment rose to 2 million.

This was made worse by the increasing number of households with negative equity.

Unlike unemployment during Thatcher's reign with unemployment affecting the working class, unemployment was effecting Tory voters.

With the election imminent, Major's government increased public spending in the NHS and public transport.
