One reading
A strong employment picture can support household incomes and reduce pressure on public finances.
Another reading
Headline rates can miss economic inactivity, insecure work, hours worked and whether pay is keeping pace with prices.
What the data cannot prove: a movement does not by itself identify its cause or show that every person experienced the same outcome.
