Results tagged “youth unemployment” from Glasgow Politics
THIS is my first column for The Glaswegian. When I agreed to do it a few weeks ago, I wondered what to write about. But the topic picks itself - the massive rise in unemployment.
Figures show unemployment in Scotland has risen to 215,000.
Scottish long-term youth unemployment is 11,150.
Behind every statistic is a person suffering the indignity of unemployment.
And behind every figure is a family coping with losing their income.
