10,000 a week joining dole queues

greimorm

More than 10,000 people have joined the dole queues every week since the beginning of the new year, the latest figures show.
Despite the massive jump in numbers claiming jobseeker allowances, officials said there was a slight drop overall in the number of people signing.

The recession is over, the economy can't recess anymore which basically means things can't get any worse.

Its not 10,000 a week all losing their jobs, you also have;

- People returning home from abroad

- Immigration

- Kids turning 18 and coming in straight away to sign on

The 10 or something job plan, proposed by the new government seems to work so? The new elected minister for jobs kept all his promises?

Sure is it not signs of the laziness of Ireland. Isn't there thousands of jobs out there that people just aren't bothering to look for. Back in my day (...) they should bugger off and emigrate (...) FOOTBALLERS WAGES FOR THE UNEMPLOYED!

Etc.

etc.

10k joined per week but there's less on the dole overall. I think that means that there's been a reduction in unemployment. Amazing how writing something in a stupid way can make a certain type of person react without thinking.

Do you know what a recession is?

It could also have to do with the fact that it's January and those hired for the Christmas period only are going back on now.

Recession-when you lose your job

Yes you can
But companies are still closing down, people still on the dole, more people signing on.

I just think its a foolish statement to say recession is over knowing how things are.

Any period where there is recorded economic growth is not a recession. In economics a recession is a period of two consecutive quaters of negative economic growth, consequently Ireland is NOT in a recession!



it is however economically banjaxed!:D:D:D:D

The Belfast Telegraph is a unionist paper so of course they're going to diss the Republic. Especially in the wake of Martin McGuinness's comments about his desire to hold a referendum on reunification by 2016. In his comments, he stated that economically the North and Republic together would be economically better for the North than the North being in the UK.

However, if 10,000 people are joining the dole queues weekly, then that doesn't really matter if 10,001 are coming off it weekly thereby making real figures actually decrease.

But it suits the Telegraph to spin it a certain way.

up for anything

I was with a friend today when a man she knows stopped to chat to her. She asked him how work was going and he said that he'd been laid off a few weeks ago because business was slow. When he left I asked her where he'd worked as I hadn't recognised the business name. He worked in an undertakers. People must be hanging onto life because they can't afford to die!

If you're going to do Government PR and mention people turning 18 signing on for the first time, you also have to factor in people turning 65 or otherwise "signing off"

Likewise with "immigration" - you left out "emigration"

The unemployment rate is down for the month of January according to the times and indo yesterday.

So what they are saying is, their has been a huge increase in numbers signing on, claiming JA but numbers have slightly dropped signing on all together?

Ironically i was just remarking earlier to my friends it been years since i seen so many jobs advertised in the local paper 2 and a half pages.It was split nicely as well between skilled and unskilled we need both because there is a lot of people on the dole who are unskilled
