The ugly face of unemployment

The hardest city to get a job in
If you live in Merthyr Tydfil, you face the most competitive jobs market in the UK!

Take these numbers not as truth but as part truths . For the real truth on the state of the employment market and those who are unemployed, those claiming benefit etc; is hidden and shall never be announced or acknowledged.

Makes for shocking reading about the state of the UK on whole.

It would have been interesting to see what he jobs available were, the wages and if the job was temp. part-time or permanment. Saldy those kinds of real information won't be shown.

It is cold in the back.

In France, they do not take into account:
The unemployed persons of long lastings.
The unemployed persons of more than 50 years old.
The unemployed persons of less than 25 years and so on.

What makes that number of unemployed is truncated and totally erroneous.
