Astonishment as unemployment rate rises.
In England unemployment is a very big problem. We have interviewed 3 teachers and a parent. All these people agree that it was a lot easer to get a job when they were young compared to now and how worried they would be if they were unemployed. The parent is unemployed so we found out his views about being unemployed.
Mr Sephton finds unemployment very depressing and sometimes you he feels useless. He has been unemployed for 1 year. He gets no benefits. He said “The overall outcome is a drop in income. So my family and I cannot afford to do things that we use to be able to do. This leads to a big change of lifestyle for us.”
A new report is that the literacy standards in England have stalled and people are saying it will make even more unemployment. Lots of people are being cut from jobs including 71,000 jobs from education and 31,000 from the N.H.S. This is a problem for our country.
The unemployment rate in the U.K. is 8.4% which is about 2.67 million.
One person’s thoughts are “Unemployment is bad for the country. Benefits are good as long as someone tries to get a job then cant.” Another person said “I think that it’s great that we have unemployment benefits in this country and it’s a shame when someone abuses the system.”
Under the Equality Act 2010, an employer must not:
treat a disabled person less favorably because the person has a disability -this is known as 'direct discrimination'.
indirectly discriminate against a disabled person, unless there is a fair and balanced reason for this.
directly discriminate against, or harass a person because they are associated with a disabled person.
directly discriminate against or harass a person who is wrongly thought to be disabled.
victimize anyone.
Do all employers stick to these rules?
Some people blame the amount of unemployment on people who are form a different country. They say that they have taken jobs that should be ours.
