Did Sheffield ever come out of the recession in the 1980s and 1990s?

 

Some people did, but those were non jobs that were created during the new labour years

Would the people who say there are jobs out there give us a clue where the 2.68million jobs are that are needed for the unemployed.

Labour were only elected in 1997, but I agree with you that we always get mass unemployment when the Conservatives are in power.

Go on then, name the "non jobs" that were created.

 

Typical Tory, never happy unless the unemployment figures are at an all time high. And then they wonder why the economy is doing so poorly.

Unemployment figures tell you nothing about whether or not we're in a recession.

Smarmy Dave himself has accepted that there may have been negative growth in the last 3 months, if it stays the same in Q1, 2012 then, yes the Conservatives will have done what they do best, cause another recession.

In the three months to November 2011, there were 3.64 million 16 to 24 years olds in employment, down 28,000 from the three months to August 2011. There were 2.62 million economically inactive 16 to 24 year olds (most of whom were in full-time education), down 33,000 on the three months to August 2011. There were 1.04 million unemployed 16 to 24 year olds, up 52,000 from the three months to August 2011.

 

The unemployment rate for 16 to 24 year olds was 22.3 per cent in the three months to November 2011, up 1.0 percentage points from the three months to August 2011. In accordance with international guidelines, unemployment rates are calculated as the number of unemployed people divided by the economically active population (defined as those in employment plus those who are unemployed). Movements in youth unemployment rates can therefore be affected by changes to the economically active population, which can result from changes in the number of young people who are economically inactive because they are in full-time education.

 

In accordance with international guidelines, people in full-time education are included in the youth unemployment estimates if they have been looking for work within the last four weeks and are available to start work within the next two weeks. Excluding people in full-time education, there were 729,000 unemployed 16 to 24 year olds in the three months to November 2011, up 8,000 from the three months to August 2011. The corresponding unemployment rate was 20.7 per cent of the economically active population for 16 to 24 year olds not in full-time education, up 0.5 percentage points from the three months to August 2011.

You can't count the non jobs as a boom, nor can you count the ever growing army of people without contracts, that thrived under the New Labour years.

 

Under New Labour, this country was not the land of milk and honey, although for some it was.

[Scozzie 10]

why is the focus on youth unemployment?

 

What about the rest of us? Do we not matter because we aren't the mass advertising 'target market'?
