Unemployment falls
Unemployment in the area has fallen since last year.
There are 95 fewer people claiming jobseekers' allowance in Carshalton and Wallington now than there were a year ago and 12 fewer than there were in October.
Carshalton and Wallington MP Tom Brake said: "This is welcome news. Although I know that the next few years will still be difficult, these figures show that everyone locally is doing what they can to promote growth and employment."
