Our trusted elected politicians have played a blinder with this one.
With unemployment predicted at around 3 million by this time next year, welfare reform proposals to get the long term sick and single parents back at work could potentially DOUBLE that figure. Don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning benefit ripp-offs it just that the spin doctors will have one hell of a job massaging the jobless figures if all these people are added into the "unemployed" equation laugh
So ludicrous are these proposals that the companies who regularly tender for the contracts at £500 a throw are not prepared to take on the challenge.
So, anyone fancy some easy money? Cherry pick the claimants at interview and take on only those likely/willing to get a job. Anyone with a bit of common can identify these from the mass who are just not interested. If they remain in employment for six months you get your £500 Government bung per person employed and with a few like minded individuals start a business using startup funding in a depressed area. With almost zero industrial unit rent/business rates and paying minimum wage, employ the next batch yourselves................it's like pyramid selling. If the business, and it doesn't really matter what it is these days, turns a profit well and good, if not it's a tax write off. It doesn't really matter as it's never your money in the first place.

They won't be classified as unemployed but something else... Problem solved.

Stats are easy...
