http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/475098/One-in-five-British-people-fail-trial-periods-at-work-due-to-poor-performance Hardly surprising when all the jobseeker gets is two sentences describing the roles and agencies that don't even know the working hours or pay rates! Yet the coalition will not change the rules for recruitment agencies or job websites!

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/collapse-in-pay-lies-behind--britains-return-to-work-9324388.html The grim truth about pay and living standards in some the regions of the UK has also been highlighted by official EU figures showing that parts of Britain are effectively poorer that countries from former communist countries in Eastern Europe. People in Cornwall and the Welsh Valleys are worse off than residents of Estonia and Lithuania, according to Eurostat figures comparing wealth across the EU using a measure known as “purchasing power standards” - which takes into account GDP per person and cost of living. In addition, Durham and the Tees Valley, in the north east of England, are poorer than those in the wealthiest regions of Bulgaria and Romania, the two most deprived countries in the EU. The DWP peddles some lies at the bottom of the page again!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-27289148 What exactly does Esther McVey know about the jobs market? Not much according to this article! The coalition: putting round pegs into square holes AGAIN! One in five employers has at least one employee on a zero-hours contract Staff have no guaranteed hours They are entitled to holiday pay The contracts are often used in retail and in the hospitality sector

https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/complete-lack-of-job-creation Please sign, we need the council to wake up to the fact that there are so few jobs out there! Even though they tell us the opposite!
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/473192/WATCH-Paxman-steps-in-as-row-between-Ukip-chief-and-ex-Labour-minister-gets-personal Shows how out of touch the Labour Party is with public feeling! My local councillor actually said i was low skilled despite having technical training,which when she was shown the certificates via email she suddenly went very quiet! My local MP is Labour as is the councillor, they still want to keep immigrants coming into the country even though there is no work for the residents. All we have here is contract work, which is impossible to get due to intra company transfers, zero hour contracts and being in a queue of around 130 people! Never have i seen such a jobs crisis in the UK, yet the three main parties - Liberals, Conservatives and Labour all still want it to carry on as if nothing is wrong, despite being regularly told of the issues!
Bet its still happening and loads are coming in... No wonder there is no work for the residents! http://www.computerweekly.com/news/1280095897/Public-Accounts-Committee-slams-intra-company-transfer-controls All in the name of cheapness! But what happens to the english IT staff - jobhunting i reckon!
