Source Marketing Direct Unveil Exciting New Opportunities to Combat Youth Unemployment

    LONDON, ENGLAND, March 18, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A recent analysis of official employment figures has found that 16 to 24 year olds are nearly three times more likely to be unemployed, with 492,000 people within the age bracket currently out of work, an increase of nearly 8,000 compared to figures collected last quarter. With the current UK unemployment rate standing at 5.7% of the total working population, a staggering 14.4% is under the age of 25, suggesting that young people are finding it incredibly tough to compete with older, more experienced candidates. What's even more worrying is that in the run up to one of the UK's closest government elections, the labour party have announced that should they come in to power young people having to claim unemployment benefits will have to partake in uninspiring work such as litter collecting should they wish to continue receiving benefits. With many young people having no choice but to claim benefits whilst job hunting, this potential change in legislation could destroy young people's confidence and cause them to lose the passion needed to succeed in today's highly competitive jobs market.
