[WATCH] Delia got his Gozo statistics wrong, PL claims

Opposition leader, Adrian Delia got his facts wrong when he claimed that 60% of Gozitan workers were employed by the public sector, the Labour Party said today.

“The statistics are shocking. 60% of Gozitan workers are employed with the government,” Delia said yesterday.

In a statement, the PL said official statistics showed the exact opposite of what Delia had claimed, with 61% of Gozitan workers in private sector employment.

“What’s shocking is that the Opposition leader has not yet understood the amount of responsibility he has now,” the PL statement said. “he should check his facts before speaking.”

The party included a graph from the NSO's Labour Force Survey this to back up its claims, as well as a clip of Delia making the claim while speaking in Gozo.
