Thread: Good unemployment figures.

I agree with Tiffy, I know of plenty of people in the UK who are struggling to find work (but I also know plenty of people over here as well who are) I think it depends where you live and what your occupation is.

It has always been like that, there are areas that will probably never reach anything like 'full' employment especially it seems up North. When I have travelled North in both countries in some areas it is like you have crossed into another country in another era.

Unemployment figures set to reach a 17 year high this week, 1 million 16-24 yr old out of work highest number since records began. Not a great outlook really.

No, it is an awful situation for those out of work. The whole world economy is going through a huge shake up and could well get worse before it gets better. Youth unemployment seems to be the biggest issue for most Western economies.
