Live: PM's questions from noon, followed by a statement on the Finucane report
David Cameron has said long-term unemployment remains "stubbornly high", despite a fall of 82,000 in the overall jobless figure.
During Prime Minister's Questions, he added that there was "no room for complacency".
However, he was criticised by Labour's Ed Miliband for raising some in-work benefits by 1% for three years.
He attacked the government for implying that those affected by the move were "scroungers".
During last week's Autumn Statement, the government said it would restrict increases of some benefits to 1% over the next three years.
Labour announced on Tuesday that it would vote against this.
During heated exchanges, the party leaders debated the effect of the coalition's policies on people's earnings.
Mr Miliband said there was a "fundamental" injustice in the cutting of the top rate of income tax from 50% to 45%, arguing that Conservatives "look after their friends".
The prime minister replied that Labour wanted "more benefits paid for with more borrowing".
The latest figures on unemployment show fall of 82,000.
After Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron will deliver a statement on a review of the extent of security force collusion in the 1989 murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane.
