Re: Where are the jobs?

exactly what I was told, yet do they announce it to the world.I am sure that i it got properly debated someone would challenge them at a high level. Now that Scotland ans Wales have their own 'assemblies' /'governments', what is the difference between Scotland/England and Eire/England.
I mentioned this to my nephew who is in final year or so o becoming an international (Europe) lawyer based in Brussels and London, and he didn't believe it. He said some countries were trying to be protectionist but were falling owl o European law.
The latest attempt to save money will probably cost this government even more. Once I have jumped through a couple of hurdles for jobcentre, I hope to go self employed, and acording to government benefit website I will get as much in tax credits as being unemployed, without the hazzle. If this works, I will recommend others in similar positions to me to do similar, which might result in unemployed total going down and hence less requirement or an inflated Works and Pension government department. I don't like putting people (?) out of a job, but in this case I will have little sympathy.
The obvious thing with Europe would be to equalise the benefits and rules governing unemployment and benefits. But for the moment if you are unemployed you seem to be treate asthe lowest of low. Some people get extra help, whether they are suitable or not. If you are not the right age or not been unemployed long enough then some jobs are not avaiable even if you fit the job spec perectly and actually want the job.
