The post you are reporting:
I can't turn up because I'm working too. However, as he is interested in people who have reently lost their jobs, may-be a trip to the job-centre? It's in Maison Dieu Road opposite the Health centre.
I do hear that many more people will be losing their jobs owing to spending cuts.
My theory is as follows: even when people laid redundant, say civil servants with some experience in office work, get new employment, the work which they take is no longer available to those people who were already unemployed, or to new school-leavers, so at the end of the day, spending cuts leading to unemployment do increase the number of unemployed people.
Sometimes one gets the contrary view, that all the redundant need to do is to go and find another job!
It's not that easy!
As for me, if they would decide to plant more orchards in our Garden of England, and employ local, yes LOCAL people, I'd turn up.
However, I think that those in the trade consider local people inadequate, and already look for workers elsewhere without even asking the locals. I am pretty siure of this, as far as agriculture is concerned and manual labour in that sector, as I have made some interesting research to prove it!
