Two days into his new role and the new Chief Minister has had his warnings about unemployment levels underlined.
Allan Bell, who has also suggested inflation is a major danger, is now seeing its effect on the jobs market being highlighted.

That's just under 900 in total looking for work.
Mr Bell is due to make his first public speech in his new role at the re-branding of the Boston Finance firm tonight (Thursday) in Douglas.
