In short, the UK does NOT have an unemployment problem. This is really good news.

We do however have something of an under employment problem. Lots of people not working but not entirely sure why. This is why the Govt are trying to lure many older workers back into the workforce.
I guess it's what happens when you make policy decisions which deliberately hand millions of people pretty substantial property wealth. They can just move somewhere cheaper and give up work in their 50's.
