United Kingdom jobless rate rises to 7.9%

London, United Kingdom (AHN) – The unemployment rate in the United Kingdom rose unexpectedly during the last three months of 2010, by 44,000 to nearly 2.5 million people.

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the unemployment rate is now 7.9 percent. That is up from 7.8 percent for the previous three months.

However, youth unemployment is much higher than that, with one in five jobless.

The unemployment rate for those between the ages of 16 and 24 rose by 66,000 to 965,000. It is now running at 20.5 percent.

According to the ONS, the number of people unemployed for a year or longer also rose. It climbed by 17,000 people to 833,000.

In addition, the number of people forced to work part-time because they were unable to find full-time work reached a record high, rising by 44,000 to 1.19 million.

The number of people claiming jobless benefits also rose. It increased by 2,400 to 1.46 million in January. However, there is a gender gap in those figures. The number of women claiming unemployment compensation rose by 7,800 between December and January while the number of men claiming jobless compensation fell by 5,400 during the same period.

Bank of England governor Mervyn King has called the unemployment situation in the UK the largest deterioration of living standards since the 1920s.

Economists say that unemployment is likely to continue rising during 2011 because of slow growth coupled with ongoing cuts in public sector employment.

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  6. e cigarette refill on January 11th, 2011 3:51 pm

    I smoked a pack a day for over 20 years and started e-smoking 3 weeks ago. I noticed a huge improvement in my breathing and lung capacity within days of switching to the e-cigarette. I feel better, my house, clothes, and hair no longer smell, and I was able to quit cigarettes almost immediately. I have tried patches, gum, herbs, acupuncture, hypnosis, and cold turkey, and none of them worked. With all other smoking cessation/nicotine replacement products, the quitting process was agonizing and the side effects were terrible. Switching to e-cigarettes was simple and after noticeable improvements in my health with a few days, it was a no-brainer.

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
