"There are more people on JSA than there are job vacancies. Doesn't the solution seem obvious?" Some 40% of people on UC - of which JSA is a part - are already in employment. Most of them would require lengthy training to transfer to other work, in order to do it competently/safely; if their circumstances even allowed for them to do so. Not so obvious - if you put some thought into it. If it were as simple as you suggest, there would be no problem. | |||

"There are more people on JSA than there are job vacancies. Doesn't the solution seem obvious? Lots of them are in employment, another barrier to work is employers will not invest in employees, they won't train people up but instead, import skilled labour from abroad. " Well, the latest on that, appears to be this: "The UK will not introduce visa schemes for any other sectors facing staff shortages, sources have told the BBC. On Sunday, the government set up temporary visa schemes for HGV drivers and poultry workers to limit disruption in the run-up to Christmas. Staff shortages in areas including hospitality and care have led to calls for a similar relaxation of post-Brexit immigration rules for other sectors. But government sources said firms should improve pay and conditions. Kate Nicholls from UK Hospitality warned that without measures such as temporary visas the recovery from the pandemic would "falter". She said the sector was helping people into apprenticeships, offering training schemes and noted that wages had risen by 19% over the last five years. However she said a "chronic shortage of staff is a significant barrier to the hospitality industry's recovery", and urged the government to consider "all reasonable measures". But the BBC has been told the Home Office and Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy are not discussing the possibility of visas for other sectors. And one UK government source said: "In order to move to a high-wage, high-skilled economy, businesses should invest in their workforce and improve pay and conditions." Frankly, good on the Tories - for once. They appear to be actually trying to do what I mentioned in my OP; they're telling business to take the hit and stop moaning about lower profits, share dividends and bonuses. Which is what better wages for employees is going to mean; not to mention that those better wages will move more people into paying tax. So would a £15/hr minimum wage - but that's actually going too far; and I'm a socialist. | |||

"The Government - rightly - don't want cheap labour from the EU (or anywhere else), taking jobs that British workers could be doing, for higher wages. Unfortunately, the majority of business donors to the Conservative Party (including the big ones) are in favour of cheap labour - from any nation - in order to maximise their profits, bonuses for CEOs and/or dividends for shareholders. None of these "captains of industry", nor the Conservative Party, were in favour of the National Minimum Wage, when it was introduced. To be fair to them, they haven't abolished it and, indeed, have increased it. Not to adequate levels - but at least they haven't cut it. However, it's a difficult circle for the Tories to square - are they really going to tell employers they'll have to pay higher wages - and take a hit to their profits - if they want to stay in business at all? It's looking like they may have to - even allowing for the usual exploitation of poorly qualified workers and those in the gig economy - there aren't enough potential employees to go round; especially in certain industries critical to the smooth running of the UK. Technically, they're arguing for full employment on high wages - which is very socialist of them. I hope they manage it - I'm just not at all confident they can. Let's face it; they've never tried it before." Politically to abolish it would be suicide ....easier to manage it to a lower level and have legitimate cheap labour ... | |||

I want a PM who doesn't lie and then covers up his lies with more lies. That's NOT BoZo | |||

"All of the above have been spoken about for decades tho nothing new there and you want a leader who doesn’t lie ffs every political lies that’s what they do maybe we need a leader who’s not a politician like the USA had would that please you ? The Freeport is fantastic for Teesside I don’t know why you keep putting it down like I said go have a look at all the work going on down there instead of moaning about your own area " Politicians lie because we let them get away with it. Freeport's have been tried before, they were abandoned because they didn't work. I want the best for my area, that means not settling for crumbs from the table. | |||

"Full employment and increasing wages has happened many times and in many countries. To be fair it has rarely, if ever, happened in the EU because the EU is a jobs-destruction machinewhat do you call full employment? Do you have examples?" The actual definition of full employment is debatable. For example, some people will always appear as unemployed because they are between jobs or in the act of leaving/joining the labour force. But the UK was generally regarded as having full employment in the 50s and 60s when unemployment was 2-3%. That seems reasonable to me. What do you think? | |||
