FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda According to the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) labour market report, in March this year 5,210 Scots aged 18 to 24 had been receiving the benefit for more than a year, compared with just 415 claimants in December 2007, indicating a staggering rise of 1155.4%.
The STUC figures also showed the number of 18 to 24-year-olds claiming jobseeker’s allowance for more than 12 months had increased by 745% across the UK over the same period, with 17,750 Britons receiving the benefit in March 2012, compared to 6,550 claimants in December 2007.
The STUC report, based on data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS), is published ahead of a debate on youth unemployment at its annual congress in Inverness.
Urging the UK government to change its economic policies, the STUC’s assistant secretary said, “The increase in the number of people unemployed for more than a year demonstrates the scale of the problem and it’s a message that’s in danger of being lost.”
“This is a shocking figure, especially when one of Labour’s great achievements was virtually eliminating long-term youth unemployment,” said Ken Macintosh, Scottish Labour’s shadow cabinet Secretary for Finance, Employment, and Sustainable growth.
