sussex boy Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 On the south coast my fiance and I can only find temp work, unless you want to work in a nursing home. Minimum wage only. Can`t wait to hear whether or not we will get our 457 or not. 99% of garages and firms have sacked/made redundant a quarter of their staff and are not not taking on, thats my experience of the Uk recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with such good news, the media is still playing down the economy. Apparently, the majority of the growth in the economy was in the construction industry, which is not sustainable, especially since the Tories announced their spending cuts.

Guest chris955 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Yes very closely followed by Business services and Finance, then Government, then Restaurants and Hotels, manufacturing was slightly lower due to it's big rise last quarter. I agree with your last sentence BUT you could have said 'hopefully it is sustainable' :wink: Even with such good news, the media is still playing down the economy.

Guest chris955 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Yes temp jobs and part time are the big employers here in Queensland. Where are you looking at moving to ?

hedgehog Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Looks like employers can no longer employ temps or casuals on a regular basis. the position has to be made full time. But there will be loopholes as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chris955 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Yes absolutely agree. Lets be honest it is no secret that the unemployment figures here are not all they appear. Anyone working one single hour is considered employed. As I said nowadays casual and part time are the way things are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brispark Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 have many friends in the construction industry back home who have said it has picked up considerably in the last few months. It will go quiet again towards the end of the year as normal but then hopefully will be back on track. As for the construction industry over here it is being kept afloat JUST from stimulas money which when this ends it is going to be in trouble.

sussex boy Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 We are still in the UK, had a sponsorhip fall through and have really struggled to find a job in the Uk, even if I drive into south London from the Brighton area, can`t think of when its been so tough, we are both skilled and didn`t think it would be so hard,I have loads of motor trade contacts there is nothing to apply for. Very best of luck if your moving back though, would strongly advise that you have a job arranged before you move though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi chris The double dip recession was from the financial experts, not from someone on PIO, unless Richard Branson is a member. i was going to post this along with unemployment dropping by 34,000 last month because i have posted alot of things on PIO about the financial difficulties that the uk is suffering currently. The reason i didn't post it was because when the 1.1% growth was announced it was immediately followed by the experts saying that this didn't reflect how bad the uk was doing and that they were predicting a very long difficult financial road to recovery. Also the experts said that the fall in unemployment was a blip and that there is going to be hundreds of thousands of job losses, proper jobs, not flakey part time low paid jobs. I didn't post it because it would look like i am doing the uk down again and those living here know already how bad things are and i don't like dwelling on the negative that much. Hopefully the experts have got it wrong and this is the start of a financial recovery for the uk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger2shirts Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I wouldn't rely on this fact. The cuts do not start until November so its all going to really start to get tight next February. At the moment its the calm before the storm. Sorry to be so gloomy but the UK is in a lousy state economically and its going to take at least 50% cuts across the board to reduce this deficit and thats only the rate by which government debt rises each year. Trust me Australia is a much better bet financially for the next 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernow43 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 But are they improving the economy by cutting back on NHS * Restrictions on some of the most basic and common operations, including hip and knee replacements, cataract surgery and orthodontic procedures. * Plans to cut hundreds of thousands of pounds from budgets for the terminally ill, with dying cancer patients to be told to manage their own symptoms if their condition worsens at evenings or weekends.
