Employment figures


Those out of work and claiming unemployment benefits rose by 2,400 in January, against forecasts of a fall.
• Wages have fallen to a five-month low
• Wider measure of joblessness also rose
• Women claimants rose, while men fell
• Youth unemployment hit a fresh record of 965,000
++Record number of job vacancies

The last one doesn't add up!

I would like to know:
In the jobless figures and the claims what is the break down.
We know that people in other European countries are claiming benefits but don't live here.
In the job vacancies what are these types of jobs.
On the Olympic village work 95 % of jobs go to Polish type of workers according to a foreman.
So, how can our electricians, plumbers and apprentices get work when the councils should have an obligation to employ locals !!!
