crazybaby Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 There's a lot of stuff I'm still trying to get my head around in all this. How if we only have 500,000 jobs available are the young every going to find work with 1m young people unemployed. The other thing is why are so many uk jobs advertised abroad with travel costs etc being paid. see here: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/800000-uk-jobs-advertised-across-europe--and-foreign-jobseekers-even-get-travelling-costs-8734731.html and thirdly how come that figure is a drop in the ocean when this site states that there are 1518012 job vacancies available in the UK https://ec.europa.eu/eures/main.jsp?acro=job&lang=en&viewDistrib=true If europe is funding all this then how do our kids stand a chance of competing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv'e no idea, is the funding coming from Europe? and why has the UK got the highest number of jobs on offer, where are they all?

crazybaby Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I don't think so it's clearly headed job vacancies. The number is shifting by the hour as employers add to it. It seems that it's the UK employers who are advertising for foreign labour, is it the £1000 sweetener as you say above that's doing it plus low wages.

Anna B Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 The thing I find very odd in all these changes to the benefits system, is the relatively small cost to the country of benefits. It's not going to save us all that much money when JSA makes up about 1% of government expenditure. Imagine JSA was completely abolished, the saving wouldn't even put a noticeable dent into the deficit! Which does make the whole thing look more like a PR exercise... A rather stupid one IMO though, as the conservatives are alienating more potential voters who claimed benefits, than they are pleasing voters who didn't. Blimey Cyclone! We agree on something at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister M Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 What percentage of potential Tory voters have been on JSA? I wouldn't have a clue.....that's one of those questions that is probably unanswerable. I guess nowadays with job insecurity rife, virtually anyone could be made unemployed - Are you trying to make a crude party policial point?
