Notes:
1. The table includes separate figures for the number of people participating in a particular month, and the number of people gaining a job in a particular month.
2. People participating in a particular month may have gained a job in a subsequent month, and so will be recorded in that month as gaining a job.
3. New deal for lone parents started in October 1998.
4. Latest data is to August 2006.
