The post you are reporting:
Gary, in reply to your question, where the jobs are that IDS says unemployed must find, you could go on to yahoo and type: unemployment in Britain. On the first page, the first or second result, there is an article, with the title: Unemployment in Britain. It explains how many vacancies have been free in a three month period this year, and how many people are officially considered unemployed in Britain.
Statistics have been used to supply some of the information.
It does not take into account that official unemployment rate does not include hidden unemployment, but the article might help understand that the number of vacancies and number of unemployed are two complete different set of figures.
I suppose it would be informative for IDS to read this article, as you are totally right, the vacancies for all the officially unemployed are not there, not to mention the hidden unemployment figure, which is much higher!
I am the author of the article, and it got fromt page on Yahoo and Google (on Google it's the ninth result).
