With much talk of rising unemployment figures while political parties blame each other.
With much talk of how to get more people into employment and how to create a jobs market and get the economy thriving again.
With much consideration being given to the welfare system and how to make work more profitable than the benefit system.

I am far from being an expert on this sort of thing, but I latched on to something Michael Heseltine said the other day on Question Time.
When asked about the possibility of attracting manufacturing back into this country, he pointed out that if that was to happen it would be much more likely that the work would be done by robots and not people.
I suppose this means that this will never be a country where everybody of working age and ability is in work.
There can never be full employment. Technology has lessened the need for people.

I really fear for our young people. The future is bleak...
Ducky agree that there are people who don't show up on 'unemployment lists' someone mentioned this the other day, and that the amount of people not working who could work is probably over 10 million!
