Unemployment down again

[Doggy Styles]

Employment/Unemployment is all a bit simplistic really isn't it?

If 100,000 professional workers on an average of £50K all lose their jobs and find work stacking shelves and flipping burgers part time on min wage we are supposed to be grateful and excited?

Not excited, no.

Two things. First, where did you get the figure of 100,000 former £50K earners who now cannot get work above the minimum wage? Since when has this happened?

Secondly I've done similar in the past, and to me actually having work is preferable to having none at all. Psychologically if nothing else.

If they were public sector workers then I would be.

But the worst is yet to come BBC News - BoE's Tucker: Worst may still be ahead for banking

By kicking the can down the line since 2008 Paul Tucker and his friends at the BoE have ensured that when the fallout comes its going to be that bit worse.

As ever the poor will bear the brunt of it though.

I feel for SASguru

Yes. And would you like fries with that?

I'd love some fries with that, unfortunately I'm too busy stacking shelves.

I dunno, are you?

Temporary employment for the olympic games , or some fudging of figures to remove some subset of people (students perhaps?) I reckon.

From what I'm seeing , opportunities for work are still diminishing

Great news if it's true though

truth is lefties are incapable of creating any "real" jobs

Jobs won't be required in the People's Republic of Scotland. Everyone will live off benefits thanks to oil money.
