A
series of economic surveys has shown the jobs market in Britain is at its most
declining state for three years, leaving a possible 3 million Britons without
jobs.
A
high level of unemployment reaching Britain today has not been seen since the
early 1990s according to the latest survey of recruitment consultants by the
Recruitment and Employment Confederation. Furthermore, the declining rate is at
its fastest since July of 2009, The Guardian reported.
The
total number of unemployed people according to official figures released last
month stood at 2.61 million, making an unemployment rate of 8.2 percent.
Disappointing
surveys like these come as, on Sunday 8 July, the British Business secretary
Vince Cable accused banks of ‘throttling’ UK economic recovery.
Labour
party figures, released on Sunday, showed that unemployment among British
middle-aged women increased by 39 percent during the last 2 years as the younger
generation of unemployed women (over-16s) saw a rise of 5 percent.
Bernard
Brown, a partner of Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler (KPMG), said: “The latest
recruitment data comes as a sobering reminder that we're far away from a
confident economic situation.”
"If
this trend were to continue, there's a very real chance we could hit a 3
million unemployed figure in the UK in the not too distant future", he
added
