That's a good point arista but full time jobs have to be the standard for dealing with the welfare system and so many on it.
Part time jobs do not alter that to a great degree, allowing more and more part time jobs means more and more people will still need to claim benefits, if they stop the benefits or part of them for those in part time work then you create even more problems.
The question is for any Govt, how do they really get people off benefits and into work,those who really are able to work anyway.
Create and encourage business to create 'full time' jobs,not part time ones.
That is the main start.
Then you can guide people into those full time jobs, however no one who is unemployed should be being penalised when you have such an unemployment figure as we have now and something like at best only a third of vacancies to the number that are unemployed.
If this Govt, spent as much time looking at creating the environment for the full time jobs needed and stopped attacking people for not being able to get a job because there are none to get.
Maybe then they would find they would have more success rather than just waiting for companies to come up with temporary jobs or reduce the hours of workers alrwady employed to take on something like 5 more people likely at best, which has happened at my local supermarket.
The staff there have apparantly had 2 hours taken off their working week, 3 new staff have been taken on since that was done.
Leaving 3 people better off but all that workforce at least now £18 worse off every week.
This Govt is not creating real jobs, they are seeing an increase on a scale never seen before in part time jobs,part time jobs that hardly benefits anyone at all.
I am grateful I am fortunate to still be able to choose my career and have some security but I do know of so many people, even those who have been to Uni who really are struggling and nothing this Govt is doing is any help at all, in fact this Govt is more of a hindrance to success.
All it can do is hammer those unemployed and on benefits and really the blame doesn't lie with those people it lies with govt; (and in particular this Govt's), inadequate policies.
David Cameron was on about a land of opportunity as to the UK in his speech, well from all I have observed, there seemed to far more opportunity over the previous 10 years of Govt. than there has been during this last 3+ years of this Govt.
This lot have stifled opportunity not nurtured it,in my opinion.
