Still a low percentage of people getting employed right? Yes? No?

And so what if Ben's a mod? That lifts him up to some honorary status does it? Bottom line is he's normal - just like everyone else. I still stand by my point.

No attack? Really - you're second comment in red above isn't rude or inflammatory?....

If you read the thread, you will find there are more than only 2 persons with the same view Redway. That does not mean their viewpoint is invalid -nor illogical. It means nothing more than you disagree.

You claim there aren't that many jobs available? How does half a million jobs grab you?

Yes they are. I know these are people's views on the matter. I accept that. I then went on to say that these opinions are illogical, stupid, ignorant and offensive. That's my opinion. I'm allowed to say that and I don't give a flying monkey's if anyone choses to be offended by that. I don't need anyone's approval to voice my views on the matter and if you take offense to that then it's not my problem.

And half a million isn't by any stretch of imigination enough when you have 2.6 million unemployed. Sure, some of this will be taken up by the lazy bastards who simply don't want to work but I'm sure will be outweighed by the decent people who genuinely do want to work.

Looking for work? UK jobs map reveals best and worst places in the country to find employment

21 February 2012

The best and worst places in the UK to find a job have been revealed in a new study which shows there are as many as 80 people for every vacancy in some areas.

Looking at available posts and the number of unemployed in 50 locations researchers were able to put together the study to highlight the competition for jobs across the UK.

Hull emerged as the toughest place to secure a job with a staggering 80 jobless for every available vacancy while Stoke-on-Trent came a close second with 72 people unemployed for each advertised post.

Aberdeen in Scotland was found to be the easiest place to find work, with fewer than one unemployed person for every available job.

The Scottish city’s employment growth continues to be buoyed by oil and gas and the number of vacancies in the industry is at 18 times the national average.

The nature of jobs available also changes from region to region and Aberdeen also boasts the greatest number of available jobs in construction, followed by Derby and Birmingham.

Top ten places to find work


1.Aberdeen
2.Reading
3.Cambridge
4.London
5.Milton Keynes
6.Oxford
7.Guildford
8.Wycombe and Slough
9.Brighton

Omah you have basically debased your entire argument. You can post all the statistics you want but what was the need in posting that bollocks about Scotland?
