You go to the job centre, where jobs are approx 15/17 grand a year, you attend an interview with about 50 applicants, what chance have you got, ZERO.

You go a training centres, for what, to be taught how to right a CV, how to use a computor, and not a worthy job.

What the government has to do is provide EMPLOYMENT, and they won't as employers are moving out of the country as it is cheaper abroad, or are the government going to supply planes to take us there.

This idea is all wind, and to have a go at the genuine people who want to work, but cannot is poor.
Arthur, try and get your facts straight - the latest figures for the number of people claiming JSA is not nearly four million, it is
Quote:
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said this morning the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance climbed by 5,300 last month, slightly above City forecasts, to 1.47 million
50 to 1 odds are not good, but they are not zero......

Getting taught how to write a CV and to use a computer are actually useful skills, especially in today's job market when most jobs involve using a computer.

Speaking of all wind, I think that is what you are producing.
