That's right, Keith, and every 3 months - when the quarterly report comes out - youth unemployment rises here in Britain.
It's been doing so ever since May 2010.
To me it looks like elitism, a class society of elites snortling across the ocean and all others gradually go down uneder

'better' more youth unemployment? hardly. This is a disaster of Labour's making.

Trying to put right the disastrous fiscal and monetary policies of the previous 13 years Brian... It cannot be done instantly and we have the Eurozone crisis making it harder.

Reg - the facts are the facts...
But - there is some good news underlying the figures...
There are signs the deterioration in the labour market is slowing. The claimant count was up 3,000, while 14,900 was originally forecast by economists - that has to be good news.
In addition for the whole year private sector employment was up 262,000, compared to public sector employment down by 276,000. This shows that the much needed rebalancing of the economy away from the public sector is happening.
I should also point out that as far as the youth unemployment is concerned there is more openness and honesty now about the figures. Under the Labour government, only young people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance for more than six months were classed as long-term unemployed. After 10 months claiming the benefit, most of them were automatically moved onto a training "allowance", another type of state benefit.
Whatever Reg prefers to think, unemployment started rising overall back in 2007 with youth unemployment leading the way starting much earlier.

The Government, Barry, has no plan at all to find or enable employment for the young, no plan whatsoever to bring down youth unemployment.
The compulsary work placement scheme, scheduled for Feb 2012, seems to have been u-turned.
Private sector employers have not announced any plan either to curb youth unemployment in Britain. There is no plan up and running on the part of those who could change the situation.

Brian - if you spend more than you have by way of income then there is only one thing you can do, cut spending. That is an old and now stale discussion.
Alexander. You speak as if we have a 'command economy' that is under full control of the government. Thankfully we do not have that as we have seen the dreadful truth of command economies in practise.
Governments do not create jobs they can only ensure an environment good for business to grow and in so doing they create jobs. Business should just get on and do business. Jobs arise from that.

Yes they can Brian, the quickest and easiest way (apart from sacking public sector workers) is to apply excessive tax regimes so the jobs go abroad.

I think that's where the the money that could be paid in taxes has a head start!

It goes to show, Peter, that some parts of the private sector do their best to destroy the national economy:
lay people off, cut income tax entering the Treasury, send the jobs abroad, let the State pay out more on JSA and housing benefit and deprive the redundant people of a decent wage to do the shooping with or pay the mortgage.
That's why we need more State control, and ever more people are realising it.

Yes Howard, but didn't Labour become the new Tory Party in 1997?

Huraah! Huraah!
Just out fresh from the oven on Sky News.
Dave has read the Forum! He has heard the outcry against the super-rich magnates of big time capitalism!!!
Ske reports:
"But the Prime Minister says he is determined to end the "merry go round" of super-rich bosses rubber stamping each others' payouts and being rewarded for failure."
Justice must prevail!
As PM Dave says: how can these directors of share-holding companies reward themselves with the companies' money for the economic failure they have led us all into?
Well done, Dave
Sorry, Barry!
