Mobility of labour is more important, a worker should be prepared to travel to find better pay, working conditions. The labour market in the UK is the most immobile, where statistically people are reluctant to move away from the area of their birth.
A highly mobile workforce is what stimulates economic growth by moving people from places where jobs are low / lacking to high productivity areas. The rest of the world is prepared to do this. The UK rewards the economicly inactive through its welfare system, it's a double edged sword, that's open to too much abuse.

I'd guess some of the immigrants you speak of are rather more desperate to leave their own countries than the people in the Rhondda are. If you have a strong connection to a community you're not going to upsticks away from family and friends unless it's for a very good reason.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My point exactly.
Finding work isn't a good enough reason when you have benefits.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've really got no issue with people on benefits when there's a real need. As is true in this case. If the jobs aren't there, through no fault of their own, then that's why the safety net is there.
Also, what you need to remember is that people on benefits will generally spend their money locally when they get it on essentials so the local economy gets something out of it.

BINGO
Don't see any change with Labour to be honest. These iterations of both Conservative and Labour are pretty central.
What needs to happen, is Tesco, Centrica and other huge corporations need to stop quadrupling their profits as wholesale prices return to normal, but consumer prices continue to rise.
Subsidising huge corporations profits using taxpayers money needs to stop.
Squeezing the middle class needs to stop.

It is quite remarkable how few people in the UK actually leave their town, never mind their county.
In the US you are hard pushed to find someone from the state they work in it feels like most of the time. In Arizona I would say 9 out of 10 are from out of state.

Just for bantz, what jobs do you feel they should be relocating for?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Same jobs as the millions of other people that relocate for them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So which jobs? It’s not a hard question.
Millions of people are not relocating for jobs btw. That’s absolute nonsense. People who relocate for work are generally either highly skilled or young.
So you’re 48 years old and all you’ve done is work in a steel mill. You have two children in school, one approaching their GCSE’s. Which jobs should they relocate for that they are likely to be successful applicant in?

I agree with that too, but long term the jobs are there if you're able minded. I'm not buying the idea that because there's no opportunities in a particular area that more opportunities should be created in that area.
I do totally buy the idea that there should be a house price correction and more housing built, and that's the major constraint in this Country.

If you’ve been working in a steel mill for twenty years, expecting people to up root their family and move to Bristol for a job they have absolutely no experience in is quite frankly ridiculous.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, its life.
There's no reason people should keep working in a steel mill when people don't need the steel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But people still need steel. Unfortunately it's now being produced in other countries with no unions and I'd say a lot less H&S measures. In fact world steel production has more than trebled in the last 50 years.
You know what I’ll help you out seeing as you clearly don’t have the aptitude to answer.
You live in a post industrial area, you’re 20 years old, have no money or education to speak of. Which jobs should these people be relocating for and why would they be successful in their application.

These situations are a tiny percentage of unemployment Robbing. It's not the 1980s.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s literally 2600 people all in the same town of Port Talbot and all at the same time.
So which jobs?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3 million unemployed and you bring up the 2600 in port talbot.
The vast majority of people who are unemployed are under 30, so why are you going for these outlier cases to try and make your point that unemployed people aren't able to move for work?
Ok.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Errr, because that’s what we were talking about ffs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes we were, you've shifted the goalposts away from people who are unemployed, to people who are 48 and worked in a steel mill for 20 years.

Mobility of labour is more important, a worker should be prepared to travel to find better pay, working conditions. The labour market in the UK is the most immobile, where statistically people are reluctant to move away from the area of their birth.
A highly mobile workforce is what stimulates economic growth by moving people from places where jobs are low / lacking to high productivity areas. The rest of the world is prepared to do this. The UK rewards the economicly inactive through its welfare system, it's a double edged sword, that's open to too much abuse.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why not spread the wealth around then so that people don't have to move far away from home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That would require all government policy to not be so London-centric.

If you’ve been working in a steel mill for twenty years, expecting people to up root their family and move to Bristol for a job they have absolutely no experience in is quite frankly ridiculous.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, its life.
There's no reason people should keep working in a steel mill when people don't need the steel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But people still need steel. Unfortunately it's now being produced in other countries with no unions and I'd say a lot less H&S measures. In fact world steel production has more than trebled in the last 50 years.

You know what I’ll help you out seeing as you clearly don’t have the aptitude to answer.
You live in a post industrial area, you’re 20 years old, have no money or education to speak of. Which jobs should these people be relocating for and why would they be successful in their application.

A lot of the under 30s can't afford decent housing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes and as I said above this is a major problem.
But it's not a reason, that's a different thing.

White natives too lazy to work or open any food outlets with local food so immigrants have to come and do the work and produce the food. How do we solve this growing issue of lazy white brits? Do we deport them?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd start by removing fackin handouts...I detest sponging caants who are too fackin fat & lazy to contribute to the country
