Originally posted by expat View PostI think it might have been. I found out recently that the unemployment rate (at least in terms of claiming benefits) is basically the same in Scotland as in the UK as a whole. That did surprise me, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't so when I left Glasgow in 1974 to find work.
So maybe Glasgow is too prosperous now to be the traditional fertile ground for Army recruitment That would be a good thing, though: I hate to think of kids being sent to die for the American oil empire just because they couldn't get a job.
Salmond really was taking the piss last week when he said that Glasgow had the potential to be an economic powerhouse.Comment

Originally posted by minestrone View PostI think this was talked about before on here, the Glasgow unemployment rate is actually pretty good, somewhere around 3.5%, the incapacity benefit rate is touching 17% though
