Jobs revival’ in spotlight as most of those who lose benefits fail to find work
by Irn Bru Wed Jan 21, 2015 7:55 am
Coalition claims that it has presided over a jobs revival have come under fresh scrutiny with research showing that as few as a fifth of the 2 million jobless people whose benefit has been taken away are known to have found work.
The research, due to be presented at a Commons select committee inquiry into welfare sanctions on Wednesday, suggests that hundreds of thousands are leaving jobseeker’s allowance because of benefit sanctions without finding employment, though the report’s authors decline to provide an exact figure.
Written by academics at the University of Oxford and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, the report raises questions about why so many of those losing their benefit then disappear from the welfare system – possibly to rely on food banks.

More Tory spin unravels about the jobs revival. Inquiry today by the Commons select Committee.

ALWAYS the same results whenever the more morally-depraved and intellectually-deprived right wing governments choose to listen to those "think tanks" sponsored by the dregs of their corporate and multinational camps...
