TV3 News reporting that unemployment has risen by 13,000!

But on the bright side Car sales are up! lol.

Looks like the poor get poorer and the rich get hand outs to buy new cars!

TV3 News has learned that the number of people signing on the Live Register has risen sharply again - by 13,000.

In a blow to hopes of a recovering economy, the new figures that will be officially announced tomorrow show that whilst the recession may be technically over - the fallout from it is still far from over.

The unemployment rate now stands at 12.7%.

Yeah they said 437,000. Remember they were 10,000 short on their last 2 estimates as well.

Sean Whelan is fairly scratching his head now is he going to spin these statistics. I can't wait to hear the Government's response.

Shouldn't you be out looking for a job ?

13,000 seems a lot, I was hoping it would be closer to the 5k mark.

If you see 1 let me and the other 430,000 know.

If you see 1 let me and the other 430,000 know.

And the other 200k that are outside the official stats.

I am sure Sean will have an appropriate response......I have never seen figures bad enough that he can't put a positive spin on!

Do you know where I could get some (part-time only) work on the prison review board. Based in Dublin, travelling down to Cork, with juicy expenses.

Ironically passing FF members going the opposite way.

You can surely advise me.
