Who’s Un-employable?

Finding employment in recession hit Britain is getting harder. With more and more not affording college and university fees.

@SmartReuiters tweeted this morning (12/07/12) that:

“48% of job seekers have done one social job hunting activity on Facebook in the last year”

With newspapers like The Sun lambasting the unemployed with terms like ‘scroungers’ and ‘benefit frauds’ the stigma of the under classes is total. Having been unemployed during the last 5 years (even though I’m currently under-employed), I understand how demeaning these type of jibes are. So when the aforementioned newspaper prints stories like ‘Human right’ to benefits it doesn’t help anyone.

The @EtonOldBoys tweeted:

“Number of female jobseekers reaches highest level in 23 years”

This seems to be a trend, with the jobless number multiplying by the day.
