What unemployment?

[Doggy Styles]

Rush-hour traffic and crowded trains on my commute suggest more people in work than any time in the past three years.

My back-up measure of pub and restaurant usage supports this.

So is it mainly those in low-paid, non-commuting work who can't get jobs?

Ive noticed traffic lessen on my M25 commute, commuters into London from my local train station seem to be about the same though

Curious, my impression was the opposite.

My daily commute on the M4/M25/M3 (against prevailing traffic) was quieter than I remember it several years ago.

I guess "your mileage may vary", and everyone is trying to minimize theirs, what with the price of fuel.

Things wont be back to normal down here until the restaurants are more full mid-week than they are at the weekends. Town was always full of 'suits' on expenses around 2006/7.

It has improved, but its still been pretty since the financial crisis

WE...All of us are in the main growth industry in the UK.

Forecasts are showing there will be a 1M shortfall in IT resourcing in the next 5 years. There are not
enough youngsters coming through with IT skills. 1 in 5 under 24s are unemployed.

WE. US. YOU. ME! Are going to be the big winners in the next 5 years. IT professionals are going to be older and more skilled than those coming through.

game you had published, the first Business Intelligence platform you got involved in!!! Pat yourself on the back. Because boys and girls you made the right decisions when it mattered, when it counted and when all us went to tulip YOU have come out on Top!!!!!!!

An awful lot of those unemployed are IT graduates - the worst degree subject to study at university as far as employment prospects go, bar none. For about 10 years running.
