Why Are You Unemployed?

from Talkback with Petrie Hosken

The number of employed people in the UK has fallen, with figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showing that the rate of unemployment remained at a four year high with private sector wages growing at the slowest rate in five years. Petrie takes your calls to ask why are you unemployed? Is it because you have caring responsibilities, it it because there are no jobs where you live, or can you just not be bothered? Comedy Writer, Cody Dahler, explains how he feels that it all boils down to pay and how industries haven't been invested in, before you have your say.
