Official Report, Conveners Group, 28 September 2022
In evidence to the Committee, the Deputy First Minister echoed the First Minister's comments, stating "we have historically low unemployment and we are reducing the level of economic inactivity in Scotland", adding that this takes time and "a lot of focussed activity".
