Employment pledge 'may be missed'

The Welsh assembly government is failing to meet self-imposed employment targets
A pledge to get 80% of adults of working age in Wales into employment is unlikely to be met, an assembly government minister has admitted.
Schemes to put more people in work will meet only half the shortfall as the employment rate stands at 69.7%, said Education Minister Jane Hutt.
The assembly government said it was drawing up a new employment strategy.
But opposition politicians said that setting such a high target was "unrealistic".
