The only jobs I know have been created the last couple if years anywhere is in the service sector.. So. Being a cleaner. Working on a deli, in a hotel, bar staff... You think this is job creation do you..?

I haven't worked construction for years but have recently been getting calls on a weekly basis offering me work. Things are not at at 2005 levels where people can waltz in and out of jobs but to deny things are improving is just a very blinkered view imo.

I know more than one crowd that couldn't keep running because of the lack of business.. Couple of years ago guys were turning work away they had that much of it.. They could charge what they like also (not that I'm saying this was a good thing) In fact, most of the "young" trademen/labourers I know are either no longer at it or have fecked of to oz..

More like the numbers have been shifted, I was taken off the live register years ago though still not employed, technically Id reduced the jobless figures by one, things might be or seem better, but there have not been swathes of people returning to work especially not in jobs that can pay a reasonable income to expected costs of living.
