unemployment

. Coinciding with the latest employment figures, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation published a report examining the challenges facing disadvantaged young people find work. The researchers sent 2,000 applications from fictitious candidates with at least five GCSEs good and relevant work experience to 667 current vacancies. They found that, even in cities where a strong labor market, there were 24 unemployed persons continued retail vacancy, and 50 for each vacancy. The Head of poverty JRF, Chris Goulden said:

is important to have measures that provide more full-time, well-paying jobs that provide work pay. The lack of success in the labor market undermines confidence, demotivated and leaves a scar on a whole generation of young people, part-time work interruptions low-wage people in poverty.

The day the latest unemployment figures are released, this report is bleak for young people. Intense competition shows that the main problem is more fundamental - a shortage of jobs

food banks

. Trussell Trust says a record number of people received emergency food aid to food banks for charity in the UK over the last six months. But blogger Niall Cooper argues that long-term solutions are needed. He wrote:

With food prices should continue to rise and incomes of the poorest stagnant or declining the future is bleak. And all this in a country still rich, crowded supermarket shelves of food.

food bank can be a short-term need, but can not be the long term solution. If a food crisis in the UK is to avoid a concerted effort is needed to increase the incomes of the poor and reduce the rising cost of food and other essential goods. But what are the chances of this at a time of austerity?
