See Wikipedia.legend99 said:Second, "4.2% which, as far as I know, is as near to practical full employment as possible." why does full employment allow for 1 in 20 people to be unemployed?
The facts were that there are just under 160,000 people signing on the Live Register at present. About 10% of these people are working part-time and receive welfare supports in respect of one, two or three days unemployment each week. The remaining 144,000 or so are required to be capable of work in order to sign on the Register.
Yes - but in relation to what precisely? I can't get any clarification online so perhaps if somebody saw the articles/comments in question they could clear this confusion up?I 100% stand over the fact that brennan made a mention of a figure of 300k in relation to the story.
ClubMan said:Exactly - my point was that if there are 160,000 on the Live Register then the chances of there being 300,000 people claiming Unemployment Benefit (and/or Assistance?), as mentioned earlier, are extremely slim especially since the number of people classified as unemployed would generally be less than the number on the Live Register.
Imperator said:Are you thinking of the issue raised in the papers (in the last few days) saying that there are 250,000 - 300,000 too many on the electoral register?
There was an article with Joe "Iodine" Jacob, where he said that the number of eligible voters is around 2.6 million, whereas there are many more on the electoral register.

If you're going to suggest this then it might be an idea to back it up with factual evidence. Otherwise some people might just assume that it's simply based on your own prejudices.umop3p!sdn said:I would suggest that many unemployed people don't actually want to work, because they'll lose too much if they get a (maybe minimum wage) job. The Immigrants on the other hand, want to work.
it's simply based on your own prejudices.
