One Job lost every five minutes in the capital





One job is lost in every five minutes here in London in the past 3 months as recession badly hit the city, they said its the highest rate on record for unemployment. The government statistics is showing the official jobless total stands at 348,000, a quarteryear rise of 28,000. Jobseekers are finding it tougher than ever to find work as job vacancies decrees. Right now there are 2.38 million people jobless in UK.

I don't really know how long the city will suffer from recession, with so many parents loosing jobs, I don't know how the families can cope. Are there still food on the table for children relying on their parents? I know families can ask for benefits but the real question is how far can the government support these families. How many families are there depending on government benefits and allowances? How many years before we can stand up and rise again with this recession? How many years ca our government support families too on this bad situation.

I'm thankful to have a job at this time when the rest are made redundant. It's scary but we do have faith in the Lord that he will look after us at tough times....
