"It said 707,000 graduates aged 16 to 64 were out of work and claiming one or more benefits in 2024, an increase of more than 200,000 - or 46% - since 2019."

They should have studied math.

    I don't get it?

        707000 = 1.46x
        x = 707000/1.46
        x = 484247
    
    707000-464272 is more than 200k

      He probably did the calculation that 707 - 200 = 507 and 200/507 = 0.39 which is different from 0.46.
