Getting better all the time?

[Skean Dhude]

I don't think it is the case in London either.

The news is about the statistics and they are worded so that they show better on the news. The plain facts are that unskilled or partially skilled labour is no longer required. There is a massive surplus and the days when it didn't matter are long gone. People leaving school with no or basic qualifications are screwed.

However, if they guy is looking at that he should also be looking at what he can do to minimise his requirements on the system. Perhaps he can't. For some people there is nothing that can be done. Hope you pointed him to some sites so he could at least have a look at like minded people and see if there is anything he can do.
