The only people that stay unemployed for years are
those who choose to not work and take the dole instead.

If there was a serious problem with a lack of jobs,
you wouldn't see so many pouring into the country
from the EU who have the massive downside of
not being able to speak english that cripples their
employment possibilitys.

Me and several people I know have looked for work for years before
finding anything. Applying to hundreds of jobs, only to find that every
job has 250 applicants. It's beyond a joke.

"Scotland's unemployment rate is now below that for the UK as a whole,
at 5.5% north of the border compared to 6%. The employment rate in
Scotland of 73.9% is also above the UK average of 73%, according to the
Office for National Statistics (ONS) data"
