I've actually had quite a number of jobs in Accrington and Blackburn as I used to work for a temping agency whilst I was at college.
I also have a great number of friends who are struggling to find jobs and several who have been made redundant.
I have to laugh though, one of my friends was complaining the other day about going for a job that had 30 other applicants going for it and all I could think of was the fact that graduate jobs have hundreds all over the country trying for them.
Not to mention I have two jobs at the moment whilst I study full time.
I was thinking about this the other day actually. What actually happens when a town does just become a deterrent to business and people have no jobs? Do people actually leave, or do they stay and suffer?
Accy town centre seems to have less people around than what I remember when I was younger. Are people moving to other places, or are they just shopping further afield? Or not going out at all?
I guess that would be a question for the ethnomethodologists.
