So, should we welcome the government's new work scheme, with ministers promising it will give 2.4 million unemployed people help to find jobs over the next five years, many of our 77,000 should begin a second life that includes work ...
... the Work Foundation research group has warned the programme would do little to improve job prospects for people living in economically weaker areas of the UK, in Wales this would include towns such as Merthyr Tydfil where industry has shrunk these past decades, I wonder how our Cardiff Bay administration will fit into this new way of thinking, particularly in terms of growing the private sector whilst the public sector shrinks.
