Unemployment rises 0.1%

Note that unemployment in Spain (and elsewhere in Europe) with a left leaning Government, is now more than double our own, another indication the old utopian Tax and spend economics adored by the Unions, now has little relevance.

How many of those in work are only working part time.
Unfortunately I don't know a source for those figures. The youth unemployment rates I gave, as are the other unemployment rates for the Euro Area & EU27, are from Eurostat and they define the unemployment rate as, simply, the number of people unemployed as a percentage of the labour force. The labour force is the total number of people employed plus unemployed. Their definition of unemployed are those who:
- are without work;
- are available to start work within the next two weeks;
- and have actively sought employment at some time during the previous four weeks.There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...0 -

You do need to be highly intelligent, of course, and willing to accept a starting salary around £42,000 .... which is putting a lot of people off, BUT it WILL increase quite quickly once you have proved yourself!
and what is the role? what field?0 -

We are absolutely desperate - and paying Contractors £1,000 a day net to cover ...... they won't go Permanent, obviously!
But, we do expect and will only accept, those who are the very best.Bringing Happiness where there is Gloom!0 -

Still, I'm sure there will be a vulture somewhere salivating at the thought of picking up a cheap house.
Why is it that trying to grab anything else on the cheap is called bargain-hunting, but when it comes to houses.....0 -
