Finding work with less jobs

Written by Matt B · first published 15/07/2009

Joblessness is on the rise says the BBC.

Yes, the BBC department for publishing the ruddy obvious has told us something we already know but backed it up with good old statistics. The beeb opened by telling us that lack of jobs ...rose by a record 281,000 to 2.38 million in the three months to May. Apparently this came directly from the number jugglers at the Office for National Statistics.

Is it any wonder that Thanet has so many recruitment agencies?

Have you ever used a third party to help find you work?

How did it work out?

According to KM online, Kent has bucked the trend with 1,000 less unemployed. Thanet is a star performer with a drop of 116. Still 3970 to go and 34,106 in Kent.

Well, I think this trend is on the rise. More and more people are getting unemployed due to recession. I think third parties offer limited help.
