Nicola Sturgeon: independence is needed to create more for young people
Independence is needed to allow Scotland to create more jobs for young people, Nicola Sturgeon said.
The Deputy First Minister met workers at an engineering firm in Renfrew and said full economic powers can create jobs needed to prevent young people leaving Scotland for work.
Ms Sturgeon said: "Only a Yes vote will ensure we have full powers over job creation - enabling us to create more and better jobs across the country. So instead of almost 40,000 young people leaving Scotland each year as is currently the case there will be more opportunities for our young people here at home."
