I will put it this way, over my working life, l have been unemployed three times.
I was out of work for TWO YEARS, then 12 months and then 6 months.

In that time, l did not get any help whatsoever from the JC, l had to look for work, and there wasn't anything out there, that we pay a decent wage. People keep saying go a for a low paid job, how can you the Government puts guidlines down to claim and 'support' for new jobs. And this doesn't work. Some jobs take you on, just to take you off the register.

What really infuriates me is there is not any decent wage paying jobs out there to get and support your family, ok you have free treatment etc, but do you know how embarrasing that is for the people who want work but cannot get it, Its an insult for the government to say, they have to clean streets etc, all this is to save money from local councils, it like doing community service.
