Is the UK on the verge of a boom?

The UK just reported the strongest quarterly increase in jobs since records began in 1971.  The jobless rate fell to 5-year low of 6.8%, and the number of people out of work dropped by 133,000.  The total number of people working rose to 30.43 million, also the highest absolute number since 1971.  Self-employed workers now number 4.55 million, an increase of 183,000 for the quarter.
