Not the only JSA claimant in Wales

[psychocandy]

How many people are on benefits where you live? - Wales Online

Not suggesting that all or even most claimants in Wales are claiming JSA illegally but here are the figures. Makes one contractor claiming for a few weeks pail into insignificance a bit :-)

The top three (Blaenau Gwent, Merthyr, and Neath Port Talbot) are within an hours bus/train ride to a major city as well (Be in newport, cardiff, or swansea).

Interesting that some of the more rural ones (Powys) whcih really are in the middle of nowhere with miles to the nearest city are better.

So that would make you an insignificant idiot then?

Cant we just set Wales free?
Bonus if we give them Liverpool as a leaving present

My oldest son is one of those statistics
He moved out after he completed his A levels and went to live in York, he was full of optimism.
Then some what demotivated a few months later he ended up moving to Treorchy (RCT).
I am deeply saddened to say he has never worked ever, though not for want of trying, and I doubt he ever will all the time he lives where he does.

I wish there still was National Service - something that would at least kick start them a bit.

If you can't type a coherent post after three lagers, you have no dignity.

He can join Foreign Legion.

Or join the Army, what's the problem - they are recruiting all the time!
