The total number of unemployed people in the UK is now at 2.33 million following the latest fall in the number of people not working. The unemployment rate continues to be 7.2%.
The number of those unemployed within the age group of 16-24 fell by 29,000 taking the total number at 912,000 which is the lowest level since 2011.
The official statistics show that the number of people in employment is at a new high of 30.19 million. Also, another positive statistic is that over the past year, the number of people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance has fallen by more than a third of a million.
More commonly people are finding that they are being hired only to start the job and find that their roles and responsibilities are different to what they expected. It usually ends up in the newly hired employee wanting to leave and start the job hunt all over again rather than face up to the issue. Being caught up in such a difficult situation is not easy even if it was an accident on the company’s part or a deliberate change.
So, if you are faced with such a crisis, what should you do? The worst thing is to walk out. Communication here is key, even if you are going to find it so hard to confront you manager or boss.

62% of the reserved UK workforce say they wont be sending a co-worker a Valentines Day card on Friday.
Over the last 2 weeks, we surveyed around 500 people to ask them if they were going to send a Valentines Day card or present to a co-worker or boss. There always seems to be some “fancying” going on in the office so we wanted to know if people take it to the next step and show their love openly or secretly to that special person. This survey suggests most people don't!
38% however say that they would send a card or present which is still quite a healthy proportion of people. Watch out on Friday as you could be that special person!!!!!
