An article published by the UK Govenrment's National Statistics office in Sept this year has me wondering if the unemployment figure has ever been explained or if, like the inflation %, it's only what they massage and want it to be.
Here's the article....

Does that mean that it was all a lie - both partners didn't have to go to work to get a mortgage in the 70's, 80's, 90's. The vast majority of families had to have both parents working or ends didn't meet? According to this report, with only 75%, falling to 72.5% with the crisis, of the employable population actually active in the employment sector, the UK was very much in the life in the 50's and still continues to be.
Or - are they massaging the real unemployment figueres?
