Full employment - have we really never had it so good or do the figures not tell the whole story?

BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, Full employment - have we really never had it so good or do the figures not tell the whole story?

Homelessness, food banks, zero-hours and one-day-a-week contracts - callers react.

We've never had it so good - or have we? Homelessness, food banks, zero hours and one-day-a-week contracts - BBC Nolan callers react.

So we are now at full employment - that pretty much suggests that anyone still claiming the dole is unemployable or not actively seeking work - but look around your family, your street, your community - does it really seem like we've never had it so good? And if it is so good, why can people not afford a house? Why is it that people who do have a job are queueing at food banks? Why do we all owe so much on credit cards? Why are people sleeping on the streets?

Plus, RHI Inquiry: More very significant information from the RHI Inquiry yesterday as Arlene Foster's former special advisor Andrew Crawford continued to give evidence. Mr Crawford publicly apologised for sending a confidential government document about the RHI scheme to a relative. During questions, Mr Crawford insisted his action - one of three times when he sent confidential RHI material to relatives - had not given his poultry farmer cousin an advantage.
