Unless every single unemployed is taken you cant believe any survey.

Therefore I find it very strange low considering I know the time it takes to do certain josearch activities. You could argue your on phone longer than 8mins its still jobsearch if you enquiring about position. Its still jobsearching when you write or full applications you telling me that all done in 8 min average for every single unemployed.

Another is it maybe compulsory in those places to do sort jobsearch clubs for so many hours a month. Thats another way it slews the figures unless we know US, France way dealing with unemployed is the same you cant take this serious guide to failings or workshy unemployed.

Thats why find it strange why when people trawl stats out for others thing its deemed to many stats lie. So I am saying stats lie its manipulated to make UK unemployed bad yes there some but bet its not that great. There will be many do more so the rules should be flexable.
