Oh dear: Unemployment at a six year high

BBC

Unemployment rose by 93,000 between May and July to 1.7 million, its highest level since 2000, figures have shown.

Yet the Office for National Statistics (ONS) also said that the number of people claiming unemployment benefit fell in August by 3,900 to 950,100.

Considering we also have increasing debt and inflation, things aren't looking too rosy at the moment.

We're all...

It's just the new arrivals who haven't had a chance to snap up a job picking turnips or flipping burgers.

Don't worry, house prices are safe.
