Again thats a big generalization, i know 2 members of this forum who are unemployed and claiming, and they are both actively looking for work. This is the other problem, there isnt any basic jobs out there, i have looked myself, you cant even get a job stacking shelves at the moment!

A major problem seems to be the reluctance of companies to take on staff without experience. Certainly in this area they are very choosy and "no experience" is the standard brush-off. Does it really matter, so long as you can learn quickly and have the sense to ask for help if baffled?
Quite how you are supposed to get experience if nobody will take you on is beyond me. I'm volunteering at the moment in an effort to solve that one!

They don't spend years turning down work and just claiming benefit tho...

Whereas in healthier times a company would gain by employing a 'trainee' with a view to long term employment, it is safer to get staff with relevant experience in a poor economic climate because they can produce results quicker. And if you need to downsize, you haven't 'wasted' money on much training when you have to make them redundant. A sad state of affairs, but sensible at the moment.
