Just to compare incase anybody comments though that it rather unlikely given that I have no followers or anything like that.
But I did check all of the jobs on January 29th within a 15 mile radius of Manchester any pay any hours. There were 23 Jobs posted for 29/01/2010, you can check it out yourself at the government's job seeker website.
23 jobs posted per day annualise that to a rough estimate of:
365 - Weekends (105) = 260 days of normal posting of jobs
260 * 25 jobs posted (just to be generous I've given them 25 not 23 jobs) = 6500 jobs. Which quite frankly is awful, however it gets worse, look at some of the jobs they are temp jobs and some of them do not exist. A big reason why agencies put jobs on the government website is that it costs NOTHING it is free. So much like plentyoffish.com anybody can put up job adverts.
Even in good times, better times like 2007 and 2008 there were many fake jobs posted about 25%, so the huge figure of 6500 should be closer to 4875 jobs for a city of 2 million.
Somehow the get a job you lazy bum type comments won't wash as there are simply no jobs for people to go to.
