Title: unemployment figures.
Post by: k4blades on July 18, 2012, 04:02:39 PM: I hear on the news that the number of unemployed and claiming benefits has fallen again this month, several months in a row, and the number in work increasing.

I just wonder why Pete never posts anything positive like this, only bad news, and then questions why others think he is biased against the Tories. Not that I'm looking for a fight to defend the Tories, just starting a debate. ;)

Not sure why you posted it in the Fun Stuff section.

It's almost certainly Olympic related and will rise again in August.

Id hazzard a guess that any one of us on this forum could get a job tomorrow if we wanted work badly enough. It may be stacking shelves, flipping burgers or making the tea, but it would be a job.

I couldnt agree more. There was a bloke on BBC News yesterday talking about it. He said more or less the same thing. People set their sights on a certain type of job whether qualified or not and all they see if that.

A quick search on DirectGov shows loads of jobs. Yesterday there were 200+ within 15 miles of Boza, granted not all of them were jobs anyone could do but a lot were.

Time something was done about these idle bas*ards to stop them scrounging off the tax payer.
