High unemployment means that there really isnt anything that will always be available. You shouldnt come to the UK til you have a job secured

I am not agree totaly. So far i heard in UK people wont work everything. There is jobs in village, wich some medicine worker wont work. They would always wait some job in hospital or similar.
I worker in UK before as dishwasher and there people told me really hard to find someone to work that.

You're wrong! I moved back to the UK in August. I finally got a job because I knew someone (only part time). I have applied for at least 40 jobs since I've been back, from shop work, waitressing, cleaning.... and I'm fully qualified in management/nursing, healthcare......... Luckily I'm married and my husband has his own business here and we have a home here, so I dont have to worry about earning enough to pay bills etc, cos they're high too

My 16 year old son, who returned from Spain with me still hasnt got any work and has been prepared to do anything. His friends in the UK are also all looking hard and are prepared to do anything. There is mass unemployment here!

The recession is still causing many businesses to close, 1000s of people are being made redundant everyday. Trust me, its not good in the UK

This has been the case many years ago, but not any longer! Since 2008-09 it has become really difficult.

I agree with the others.....unskilled work is very hard to get.
People who tell you differently don't know...I have UK friends that have been looking for ANYTHING...I MEAN ANYTHING.... and can't even get an interview.

Its the school leavers (amongst others) who are struggling here. I'm in the UK and its "the talk" that there is no work! I know of 18 year olds who have left college and are offering to work for more or less nothing for the first month to simply prove themselves, but still cant get any work!!
