Abstract

Inevitably current interest in the Scottish labour market continues to focus on the trends in both employment and unemployment figures and the emerging differences in the patterns of full and part time employment, a theme developed in other sections of this edition. Public interest continues to focus on public sector employment trends and pay and for a further issue we return to these themes. Over the past months there have been a number of developments, most notably a focus on training issues and possible changes to employment tribunals.
