Official Figures at the moment, I believe, are:Originally Posted by j2k4
No, perhaps I should have asked what percentage of your workforce is unemployed.Depends which job your on about lol
Its more than Minimum on both though
US 7.6%
UK 6.1%
However I'm always suspicious of "Official" figures..
Various countries almost certainly count them different ways.
I'm pretty sure Thatcher (better known as that evil fucking witch) only officially counted those unemployed between the ages of 58 - 60 with both parents present when they signed on, as an example.
I think New Labour and the US use a similar counting methodology, as it really gets those numbers looking better
